Good News/Bad News


There is good news and potential bad news.

Good news: Zane is finally over his fever and is feeling well again.

Potential bad news: Because Zane rubbed his eye during a time it was supposed to heal, we may have to return to Denver this week. I spoke with the surgeon’s office yesterday, describing what happened and how his eye looks. The surgeon’s rep. said that if the eye has not healed by tomorrow (Wednesday), we need to return to the office. I was hoping it would look better today, but it is still red, swollen, and even droopy (my greatest fear, as this means the surgery was all for nothing). I want to find out if they’ll simply look at an emailed photo of his eye in lieu of the 14-hour round-trip to Denver. I suspect they’ll want to see him in person. But you never know.

Prayers and good thoughts are most welcomed for a recovery of the eye over the next 24 hours. Going to Denver is so not what I want to do and is very upsetting.

    Good thoughts coming your way. I would think that they'd at least look at a pic considering how long of a drive it is. Geez.
