Our last recheck with Dr. Wolf went very well. He’s very happy with Cami’s progress and she doesn’t have to wear her “party hat” any more. YEA!!!! Dr. Wolf discontinued all of her antibiotic drops, but now added a steroid drop to help decrease scarring (which may help her retain more vision). Cami also now has to work on keeping that eye moist, since all the damage has decreased her ability to produce normal levels of tears. All in all- we are very happy. Thank you for all of your concern.
From now on, I hope that we can write about “funner” stuff.

Today was Cami’s recheck appointment with the ophthalmologist. (She wore her brown gingham puppia today). He says the eye is healing well and if it keeps going this way, in a few weeks it should be healed. Of course, her sight is not going to be normal, but she may be able to see light and shadows, thankfully her eye may outwardly look normal. Considering her attitude, I don’t think anyone will know that she’s compromised in that eye.
Sadly for her, she still has to wear the e-collar (we’ve started calling it her “party hat” so she doesn’t get too depressed) until it’s completely healed.
I’ll post a last photo when we are all done, but hopefully this will be the last post on this subject. Thank heavens!!!!

Cami eye update- The sutures have been removed and the shape of her eye is much more normal, the color of it though is a bit scary- it’s red, very red. The doctors assure me that this is a good thing, it means that it is healing. So hopefully, a corneal graft is no longer necessary. However, her future sight is in question. Keep your fingers crossed!
