Hi Everyone-We did travel back to Scottish Rite today to see the pediatric opthamologist, Dr. Pollard. He did confirm what we already know, that Ivey will never have sight. Now we will move on to the next step, but we are not sure of the time frame. Ivey will be able to go through steps to prepare her eyes to eventually have prosthetic eyes... Tomorrow Ivey will travel back to Scottish Rite to visit the Cranio/facial clinic.
As difficult as this is, we are still enjoying our new baby girl. She is wonderful and becoming more content as the days go by. We, family and friends, have started to find a new "normal". We are adjusting to having a nurse in the house to care for Ivey during the nights. I have been very lucky to have my parents here to help with almost anything and everything. For all the heartbreak we are feeling, there is just as much happiness. We have taken on Sundays to be our family day where Knox, Walker and Ivey enjoy our unlimited, undestracted attention.
We are still waiting on the results of Ivey's MRI. The Scottish Rite neurologist has sent the disc to be read by his radiologist. Hopefully, we will have news from this soon. G.
