Becky just called and the doctor just finished the evaluation. Titus' eye pressures are within normal ranges and everything looks good. The doctor also looked at his eyelid that's been giving him problems and agreed it was just a sty, but was so clogged, it wasn't going to clear up on his own, so they are taking care of that.
The doctor did make an interesting comment. He stated based on the nerve damage that he sees medically, it's amazing that Titus has any vision at all . And yet, he watched Titus with Becky and noticed how he was tracking with his eyes and reacting to things he saw or that came close to his face. Until Titus can communicate with us, we won't know how much vision he really has, but we are thankful for what he does have. And it's in those little things that we can so often take for granted, that we learn to be thankful.
The doctor was running a bit behind schedule today, so I've been sitting here pretty much useless at the office waiting to hear from Becky. I don't think I'll fully relax until he is out of recovery and back home, but that's just what Dad's do.
