Re-Check of Eye Pressure

Yesterday we took Kyleigh to Duke to be re-checked after the surgery to reduce eye pressure in the right eye. We were really concerned as her eye looked the worst it has since the beginning, very red and cloudy. However, we were pleasantly surprised to receive the news that she is doing well and that her pressure is reading at a normal level in both eyes right now. She changed one of her eye drops in the hopes to help reinstate her appetite. Kyleigh has been struggling feeding again the past few days. We don't know if it was the eyedrop or the change to EleCare formula but we hope she gets back on track soon. Dr. Freedman has also asked our permission to request a referral to Governor Morehead for vision therapy for Kyleigh. We agreed because we are concerned that Kyleigh isn't responding visually as she should and having a therapist work with us would be great. Until then we are to be patient and treat her as if she was just born considering she has been through so much up until now. 

On another note, I returned to work this week. It has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. It makes it a little less painful to the heart because my mom is watching her this week and possibly next until we can get her off of so many medications. However, it doesn't make returning to the working world any easier. The demands of a teacher are never ending and yet the demands of motherhood are never ending as well. Please pray for strength, rest and continued healing health of Kyleigh as well as that I will be able to share my time equally between both girls and my husband now that I have returned to work.

Good to read your update. I'm glad for the good report on Kyleigh's eye pressure. I know this week is so tough, returning to work...and I will keep you in my prayers. Continue to put it all on God, and let Him carry the weight. You can count on the fact that He will give you everything you need to get through one day at a time. And then summer will be here! You can do it. Love you!
