His eyes

His eyes are healthy! With the new prescription they can get him to 20/20 vision, now… why is he having eye problems? That’s a good question, I have been told that it could be the medication that he’s on for his seizures. So, after surgery he may still have the vision problem because he will have to remain on the medication for at least a year after surgery. What did this appointment tell us today? I dunno. The doctor told me that his eyes were great, but she didn’t mention the tumor, does that mean that the tumor isn’t causing the vision problem? When I asked about it, she said that any other questions I needed to talk to the neuro-specialist. What? She doesn’t think he’ll even lose any peripheral vision after surgery, we were told that was a big possibility, so that’s good.

At least they have a starting point to go with so that after surgery they can compare results after testing again. I’m not saying she wasn’t a good doctor, I guess that she is only specialized in eyes and cant talk about anything else… that does make sense, but come on.

Did you know that on all of the paperwork for all the different specialists at the hospital they ask you if you have a dog at home, if so, what breed… do you have a wood burning stove at home… I don’t know about you, but I think those questions are kind of bizarre, I can kind of understand the wood burning stove, maybe the wood could cause some kind of health issue, but the breed of your dog? What’s the difference between a pug and a lab? Do they have different hair follicles that would make a difference in your childs health?

Anyway, just another day at the Pontious household
