Yesterday marked 6 weeks in a row under the knife for our tough little Jaidin


RIGHT BEFORE WE LEFT FOR THE HOSPITAL......... If you click on the 1st pic, you should be able to see the pericardium (donor heart tissue) that is in Jaidin's right eye (used to cover up the drainage valve in the white part of her eye). Her left eye is still too swollen & red to see the pericardium.



AFTER SURGERY IN PACU..........


Hoooraaay! Jaidin's right eye is at 7 bars o' mercury and her right eye is at 11 bars. (down from 30 & 35) (normal is 10) Now if we can just get the pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow we'll be set.

No surgery until two weeks from today. Jaidin sure needs a break. Hopefully she'll perk up. She's down to 4 drops in each eye per day. Hopefully we'll only have one more time under anesthesia for her eyes. (yeah right)

Jaidin loves her momma. She's on the tit all day.

Heidi is a trooper. Jaidin has her wrapped around her little fused fingers.
