In early March, we went for, what would be her last, Exam
Under Anesthesia. We weren’t sure what
the news was going to bring, so we were pleasantly surprised to hear the report
of Neve’s retina finally being healed.
The fluid in her eye had re-absorbed back into the body and the scleral
buckle worked!
However, they reported that her cataract in the right eye
was back. So they gave us a referral to
another doctor within the Cincinnati Children’s system. He happened to also be in surgery this same
day and was able to give a consult while Neve was in the OR.
Our next steps will be to have the cataract surgery and then
to see what the vision in her right eye will be. They are hopeful she will have some vision to
assist her with depth perception and peripheral vision.
The rest of March was filled with school-based activities
and anticipation of Spring Break. On St.
Patrick’s Day, the kids celebrated at school with St. Baldrick’s day. Neve was one of the honored kids and helped
encourage kids who were shaving their heads to raise money for pediatric cancer
research. It is one of my favorite days
ever at STA.
