Ohh... the gall! )-:
Hi everyone,
I wrote this sort of panicked update on Wed eve to my family. First two
paragraphs is that, then follows an update.
Wed eve: We had an eye Dr. checkup today in town here, at the recommendation
of our Retina doc in MKE to check Travis' glasses prescription. Well, for
some reason, Travis' right eye, which used to be better than his left eye,
is significantly different (worse) than what the retina doc recorded last
week. So, to find out what is going on (and this doc says hopefully it was
just a mis-recording of numbers or something on the sheet she got from MKE
last week), we're heading up to MKE tomorrow for the retina doc again (and
that was going to be our first Thursday without a doc appointment at all
-- ironic). Anyway, she's saying there's likely no problem, but urged us
to get him checked there right away because now that Travis is only on Foscarnet
1x a day, we don't want the CMV back. And then to top it off, tonight as
I took Travis' glasses off at bedtime, he looked at me and laughed and said
"Mom, why do you have two heads?" He wasn't kidding, his eye was
crossing a bit (hasn't done that for a long time) and he really was seeing
double. Has never said that before. Am trying not to panic. Maybe he's just
tired (it was late when he got to bed). Anyway we head up tomorrow for an
11 am appt. tomorrow we were to stop Prednisone (steroids) but Travis has
had belly pains 3x today and a few times over the last 3 days, so I don't
think they'll stop em. Will check at the clinic tomorrow. And lastly, tonight
he was complaining of pains in his right side toward his back. You can't
imagine how every ache and pain he has is scary. I try to fight off the
feeling "is this relapse or what?". Have to run, but wanted you
to know the latest. Will send more after tomorrow and / or when we know
anything (like hopefully no problems, but some plausible explanation). |
