Dr. Hoffman said everything looks good with Jaidin's eye. He said that he doesn't see any signs of any of the problems that are typical after surgery. Great News!!
Jason & I have decided to wait a week before going ahead with the drainage valve in Jaidin's left eye. We want to make sure that nothing further goes wrong with the right eye, that the surgery in her right eye is successful, and we also want to give her left eye some more time to heal from her first surgery.
They used donor tissue to cover the valve in Jaidin's right eye. It looks like a big chunk of skin is hanging out in there. It will get better as it heals, but the doc said it might always be noticeably different. :( Jaiders still has red/bloody tears coming out of her right eye, but there is already a noticeable reduction in the amount of those tears. She has been more fussy with this surgery; but, it was more invasive than her previous surgeries so I am not surprised.
