I want to say so much more about this, but it's late and I'm tired. Basically we didn't know our son had an anesthetic cornea. I feel crazy that we didn't know, but the fact is, no one ever told us until it was way too late and he already had a neurotrophic ulcer. If we'd known, we could have kept it lubricated and (I think) kept it in good health. Now the eye has an ulcer right over the pupil, he's already probably lost some vision, and they're having to sew the eye partially shut to get the ulcer to heal. This means Ev will have to go under anesthesia for the fourth time in less than two years sometime in the next week, so they can do these stitches. We're left hoping that it heals quickly so the scar is minimal and we can start working on bringing the vision back up to snuff. Everyone seems pessimistic about how the scar will heal, and once again, I'm just sitting here not believing this. How is this happening to Ev? He already has very limited neck mobility when turning his head left; he has no hearing on that side, and now no vision.
This is me shaking my fist at the universe. I know God loves me enough that he can handle all my anger, and tonight there is a lot of it.
