The one thing he was concerned about was that in one eye, he had plus disease, but only in two quadrants of the eye. Usually it happens in all four. He seemed genuinely concerned about that and so he is going to see him again on Tuesday. I guess it's uncommon to check them so early because the eyes are so swollen from being lasered that checking them is fairly complicated because getting the eye open is difficult. But I'm glad we have a confident doctor who is watching everything closely.
At this point, we know we cannot preserve his peripheral or night vision. That is gone indefinitely. But we can continue to watch him and ensure the 10 degrees of vision in front of his body is the best and most preserved it can be.
He hadn't woken up from anesthia as of last night. This morning he was moving around a bit, but it's difficult to tell because he cannot open his eyes. We saw him at 4 am and he still hadn't eaten since 6 am on Thursday morning, which really bothered me. They are giving him fluids and ensuring he continues to receive nutrients. But he's lost quite a bit of weight and is still very out of it without any sedation or pain medication. It's all self induced sedation on his part where he has slept non-stop since the surgery. Part of me worries that he's hurting or fallen into a coma, but the doctors only seem concerned that he hasn't woken up yet.
We will continue to know more as time progresses. Please keep the prayers coming!
Much Love,
Rachel and Joshua
