Pressure Up

We can’t get the pressure down in my daughter’s left eye.   The pressure may be high in her right eye, but we haven’t been measuring it because she has no vision at all in it.   The left eye has been high—upper forties to low fifties—and they’d bad.

My daughter was prescribed one and then two pressure reducing drops.   When those didn’t help she was given an oral medication used to treat altitude sickness.   That hasn’t helped.   Now we’re increasing the dosage of the oral medication.   In a week if things haven’t changed at all, I’m going to ask if they think it would make sense to have her seen in the OR to find out more.  

And that would mean a trip to Detroit.  Gosh, it’s been a long time since we’ve been there.   But I’d go any day if it would give us a chance to save any of my daughter’s vision.

The Big Boy Update:  My son is doing very well at certain things now that tell me he’s more confident about himself and more secure as well.   He does things like clean up without arguing and he does them completely and thoroughly.   He’s doing things without being asked too.   I don’t know if it’s in part due to the positive results we’ve seen with school since he’s started taking the Adderall, but I like it.   He’s and I are becoming “friends” more now that we’re on a more positive keel most of the time.

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  At Movie Night my daughter was upstairs with me while the movie was playing in the basement.   She told me, “when I put my ear to the ground, I hear the movie really well and it sounds like it’s in 3D"
