update

another great doc appointment! today, we met with the doctor (who did the vitrectomy last week) who confirmed that the eye is not infected and the retina is still attached! all great news and exactly what we wanted to hear. essentially, now jasper can progress to phase 2, which will begin to deal with the cornea.

the appointment was a little rough on our poor boy. in order to see the eye, we had to strap him in a super powerful velcro harness and i had to hold his head while the doctor placed a small metal forceps to open the eye lids. even the doctor was surprised at jasper's strength. needless to say, jasper didn't enjoy this. once it was all over (a long 3 minutes) he was one sweaty kid from the screaming and moving.

we have another follow up appointment next friday to again check the infection and retina status and possibly discuss the next surgery. the best news is that we were able to wash his hair tonight! (sorry, forgot the camera so no photos of the visit.)
