Not alot to tell that hasn’t already been done/said/heard. Was surprised that the doc Andreas Neurosurgeon sent us to was not a Neuro Opthamologist after all. He actually is a Eye Plastic and Orbital Neurosurgeon. He said we could continue our care with the Neuro Opthamologist in Lansing, unless something changed in Andreas care needs. She of course went through the long exam with a tech then intern then doc. She is starting to develop what they call an orbital island – she can see through a small hole out her right eye when she covers her left eye. She sees black/ivory/purple swirls and can see the shadowing of the upper corner of a doorway – this may improve or may stay the same, they said give it a year and then not expect anymore improvement. He could see permanent damage and said it will not be 100% again and to wear eye protection at all times and take very good care of the left eye. That was about it, but a very tiring day for Andrea so she is home from school to sleep today.
