More surgery
Well James saw the eye doctor last week and we received good news and bad news. The bad news is that his right eye has permanent paralysis on the 6th and 7th nerve. The 6th nerve moves the eye right left up down and the 7th closes the eyelid. Our only option for him is surgery. So that's what we are going to do. The good news is that his optic nerve is normal and fine. So the plan is to have surgery to fix the muscle so his eye will at least look straight a head. Then we met with a plastic surgeon who will do another surgery to fix his eyelid. He might never be able to move his eye to the right but at least he will be able to see better. He has also gained a pound since last week, yay! He has been eating more and more which is great. His therapies have been gong really well and he's getting so strong. Next week we are doing his Make A Wish trip. He wished to go to Carsland in Disneyland. He is so excited to go. He still has no hair on his head, they said its probably just taking a while since he's had lots of treatment. Today we go back to see the Audiologist about his hearing. My poor boy, I'm sure he's tired of doctors. I know I am.
