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

I can't believe that those are the same babies......where has the time gone?
So many people are praying for these little ones that God is surely listening.......He's kept them safe so far, He will continue to stay close to them.
You all are always in our thoughts, hearts and prayers. We will pray extra hard for the babies' next appointment, strength and their continuing ability to overcome. God bless~
Much love, Aunt Aundrea & Cousin Connie
I'm always praying for them - that is why I am confident that everything is going to fine!!!! I know it is easier said than done but you have to be strong - like you said - other than this they are 100% so focus on all the good!!!! They still are and always will be our "little miracles"!!!! Please call me if you need anything at all!!! Don't think for a second that I am too busy b/c I will drop whatever it is I am doing anytime for you!!!! Hang in there!!! I'll talk to you soon!!! Paula
I am so sorry that you did not get a great report from Dr Wilson. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all as you head to Philadelphia in a few weeks. Please let me know how the appointment goes and if you need anything at all just ask. Hang in there and cry if you need to its ok.
Hugs,
Chrissy
Melissa and Matt,
The boys are always in my prayers, and we will say an extra special one for them now! I hope you guys are doing well otherwise. Sounds like the boys are growing and thriving! I can NOT wait to meet them. I can’t believe they are turning 2!! Time flies, doesn’t it?
Take Care,
Janet

Melissa,
I just wanted to let you know ,I will say a prayer for you and the boys..I hope all goes well with your appointment in Philadelphia. Keep in touch.......Terry
Sorry to hear about the boys and I'm sure they will be just fine. Medicine has advanced so far today I'm sure they can help them. You can be sure that we will keep them in our prayers. Please let us know how everything turns out. We both enjoy the pictures you send on their progress. They are really growing up fast, before you know it they will be in school.
God Bless you all.
Pauline and Dan
Hi Melissa!
We will definitely keep Alex and Evan in our prayers. You know that we are down here if you need anything while the boys are at CHOP. Please don't hesitate to call. I can't believe they are going to be two!!! Where did the time go?
Hang in there!
Love,
Becky

Our thoughts and prayers are with the boys. Best of luck on your visit to Philly. You could not be going to a better hospital. If you need anything while you are down here please let us know. Joel

them down now. keep your faith and know that god just loves children and watches over them all
the time. please keep me posted.
love to all

Melissa,
You and your family are always in our prayers, but we certainly can be more specific and mention their eyeballs. We say family prayers each night so you have the whole Pieretti team on board!
I can only imagine how frightening this must be. If you need anything at all even just someone to vent to, you know where to find me.
* Because those boys have overcome so much already, I'm betting they will beat the odds again. With the support system they have, they can't lose!
Love,
Jenn
