Ah so much to update!
I am Tired...
is it bedtime yet?
Eyes: They are planing to do some stuff to his eyes in July. They plan to remove the oil from his right eye and do some lid repair work on the left eye. Wait a few months. Put a lens in the right eye and finish lid work, remove oil, and do a cornea transplant in the left. Wait a few months. put a lens in the left. Then he can have contacts. This is all if everything goes well and according to plan. This is the plan as of now. Also after rehab they want to send him to blind school either in Waco, TX or Chicago, IL.
This picture was during his appointment when they undid the sutures on his left eye. You can see the flap over it that is protecting the cornea how neat! The sutures are put back at the end of every eye apt.
Nubbies: They are doing great. I think another week or two and his right nub will be healed enough to get a liner and socket going on that side finally. Then I know Cory will really go to town doing rehab!
See how much this one has shrank too!
Ears: Cory is having surgery on his right ear on the 7th. He will also be getting a hearing aid for his left while the right heals. Once its healed they will go and do surgery on his left one too. They expect him to get back at least 80% of his hearing. How awesome is that! I can't wait till be don't have to have things blasting loud cause I am pretty sure its turning me deaf as well. Hopefully the ringing/hum will go away too. At first we had to sleep with the TV on loud so that it would tune out his issues and he could sleep. Which meant no sleep for me but luckily we were able to find a common ground with a sleep machine app! Best invention ever!
Last weekend was our first wedding Anniversary and it was fantastic!
Thank you everyone for all the thoughts and wishes as well as goodies!
Just a bunch of silly geese!
We are going to try our hardest to come home for a visit in September.
We are actually seeing if we can get transferred back before being assigned here.
We want to take advantage of our time here but would like to finish care and MEB process back home.
Fingers crossed they will give us what we want.
but we all know how the Army can be...
Either way we are shooting for NC soil in September.
If we do get to, the Thank You Party will happen at that time.
I will keep everyone updated when I can find out more and for sure details.
So just think Party in September for now!
Cory has been staying really busy as they have him seeing 3 PT's & OT's on top of all his other appointments. One for CFI, WTB, & TBI.
ok that's all my tired brain can think of sorry!
