No, no, no...

 NO GLAUCOMA!!!!!


No time to upload pics or anything, but I want to shout from the rooftops that Julia does NOT have glaucoma!  Pressures are normal, optic nerve is not cupping, and measurements are great.  Doc said that they are not sure why her eye grew so much in such a short time - but I know why.  Prayer.  We have been praying for her eye to look normal and be as healthy as can be.  And her eye grew and is healthy!  Her EUA went great!

Doc said that for having PHPV her eye looks as good as it can.  We caught the cataract early, we are patching, staying on top of everything - she looks great!

We discussed the problems with contacts and the surgeon feels we should see how this next contact fits and then possibly discuss doing the IOL sooner than later - possibly after she turns a year old.  It is something we will need to discuss more, but I am hopefull that he thinks she is a candidate for an IOL!

Ear tubes went in great - she had pus in her ears when they drained them so it is a good thing we did the tubes.  She was crabby when she came out of anesthesia but very happy to get her bottle!  She was a trouper all day - even when she was hungry.

I am so thankful for all my friends and family who pray for Julia and send us good thoughts.  We so appreciate it!  We know we still have a long road with lots of patching and contacts, but we are thankfull for the good news today.  We are going to celebrate this victory!

  2. WOW! How awesome is this!!! So so so HAPPY for you and your family. I know this PHPV thing has such a spectrum of outcomes and much of it is so unknown or the "wait and see" diagnosis. Which can be so scary. So glad the EUA gave you not just some answers but obviously some positive answers! I'd be shouting from the roof tops as well! ;)
