Even that right now is not guaranteed. She is to continue the Mefoxin eye drops for two days along with the Ulcer Mix. Then, after two days she will only get the Ulcer Mix in both eyes. Today we are starting cyclosporine twice/day in the right eye because she has terrible dry eye and is at risk of that eye getting like the other one. So...Ulcer Mix every two hours until next Wednesday when she will be re-evaluated.
She does not seem to be bothered by it and keeps the eye open at all times, so that is a good thing.
She has learned her name and comes when I call her! I was starting to think she could not hear, but she can! And, when I talk to her she tilts her head from side to side...precious little girl!
Thank you SO much, all of you, for your generous support, kind wishes and prayers. | I have no idea how you do it, but I sure do thank you for being able to! You are the best! |
