No Worries


Grandma Summers was here (again- bless her heart!) for Jaidin's procedure. She & Jason are in the waiting room.

AUNT COREY CAME TO VISIT! HOORAY!

Aunt Corey explaining to Jaidin why she is already her favorite aunt.....

3 Sexy Chicas!

The reason Jaidin's eye was bleeding was because a stitch had come undone. The docs said that nothing else is wrong!! Hoo-rah! The pressure in her right eye has already dropped from a 30 to an 8!!!!! That means that so far, the valve is doing its job! We are scheduled for a valve installation in her left eye this coming Thursday. All but 2 of her eye drops & 1 eye gel are gone, finished, over!!! Even that stupid oral med that I had to give her every 6 hours is gone!! The docs said that we should see a dramatic improvement in Jaidin's mood and fussiness now that she is off the majority of her meds (b/c she won't be dealing with all of the side effects). This is welcome news for me; these last 3 days have been 3 days of nonstop screaming!

We were so lucky to be graced with a visit from Grandma Summers and Aunt Corey! They brought some much needed excitement and fun! We all had a huge sleepover on the beanbag in the family room last night. Jason lead everyone in a pillow fight. It was great fun!
