Dr. Wilson with boys..in 9/2005Hello Everyone,
I'm posting this here, just in case I've missed someone...The boys are facing the possibility of Glaucoma, and as you can imagine Mommy & Daddy are very concerned (& scared!). The boys' eye doctor (at Janet Weis Children's Hospital in Danville) has been with them since they were days old...literally! He has been monitoring many things including their eye pressure....This should have gone down by now, but hasn't..which would indicate a diagnosis of Glaucoma. This is very rare in children, usually a geriatric problem, but theirs would be caused by long-term use of highly concentrated oxygen. Dr. Wilson himself called Will's eye hospital and Children's Hospital in Philadelphia to get them the soonest available appointment....The boys will be seen on April 20th at Children' Hospital, where they will sedate them and examine their eyes. Your prayers have gotten our monkeys thru so much so far...If you could pray for them again now. As you remember their whole lives could have gone in a different direction, but they are happy, healthy little boys who never stop! Thank you so much, Love and prayers....melissa, matt, evan & alex
