Eye Surgery September 6
We saw Dr. Moody today. The visit went well, and Jack didn't even have to get his eyes dialated. That made all of us happy.
Dr. Moody did some testing on Jack's vision and felt sure that Jack's eyes could not be helped by patch therapy. He said that most of the time when there is a sudden trauma to the brain that patch therapy would not be able to get his eyes back straight. Only surgery can help him. This surgery is a day surgery that will be done at Cook's Children's Hospital in Ft. Worth. Dr. Moody will surgically realign a couple of the muscles in each of Jack's eyes. He said that we should be able to go home that same day, and that Jack could be back at school within 2 days. This Dr. seems to know his stuff, and he actually developed this particular surgery which has been used by doctors all over the world. He has operated on over 10,000 children and moved over 30,000 muscles in his 30 years of practice. Dr. Wadley says "He's the man!"
Jack took all this news today in stride. Didn't even seem to bother him, or upset him in the slightest. He sat and listened very intently to understand what would be happening, and seemed to have some sort of a grasp on the situation.
Keep Jack in your prayers.
Love, Tammy
