hi, it's been almost a month since my daughter (19) laura's eye
surgery to reattach the retina and her vision in that eye has not
gotten any better. her dr said that right now is about as good as
it's going to get. She's also saying that her other eye has more
floaters now, so i'm concerned about that. the dr said that because
the retina detatched in one eye, the other is soon to follow. Once
again I have been looking up as much info as i can online, and
unfortunatly all it does is scare me for my girls, and any children
they might have. I know that my girls have had it "easier" than alot
of sticklers kids, katie ( my youngest) has pierre rabin and had to
have her tongue adhered to her bottom lip from birth until she was a
year old, her father had had the same surgery. They have some mild
learning disabilities, katie's recently lost some of her hearing in
one ear, and now laura with her eye problems. It seems like as my
girls get older, that's when the sticklers associated problems are
starting. I'm just scared and so frustrated that i can't help my
girls,tht all this is going to happen and i can't stop it for them.
laura is saying that she wants to go see the ocean and disneyland
again while she can still see, and it breaks my heart that she says
that, she's 19, she shouldnt be having to say that.
thanx for listening, i'm just a mom who's worried about her girls.
