Today we saw Dr. Kane for his post op appointment. No infection....YAY! For a day or so Emily had been having some discharge in her left eye that caused some concern on my part, but he said it could have been some of the stitches causing irritation and thats how it works itself out. No sign of infection and her eye still feels fairly soft. He was glad to see that there was minimal redness and no bruising.
We are to continue the medications she is on and only change something if Dr. Zaidman feels its necessary. Emily has surgery tomorrrow with him to have her stitches removed. Dr. Kane also wants us to ask Dr. Zaidman if he feels the first valve and tube are too close to the cornea. If he feels it is, he will take it out when he goes in to open up the tube on the new valve. The placement of the second valve is much better for a variety of reasons, one of which is that it is no where near the cornea and shouldn't interfere with the health of the transplant. It's possible that the original valve and tube were too close and caused some of the rejection or other issues.
I am praying for more good news about the left eye. Tomorrow...stitches come out. Need to be at the hospital by 7:30 am.
