Thanks for all the prayers! Allana is feeling ok, but we hate just having to wait to see improvement….we were told it can take weeks, so it will be a slow process! She is still seeing double/blurred, having some headaches, not sleeping very well, and her neck is still hurting because we haven't been able to even address the pinched nerve and bulging disc due to the eye crisis that developed. They said yesterday that the swelling is still pretty bad in her optic nerves and intracranial pressure is still too high...it is lower from Monday, but still higher than normal. They are going to double up on the medicine (which has its own bad side effects) until they decide next week if they will need to do another lumbar puncture. She will be going weekly to the eye specialist to keep a close check on everything. Her left eye showed slight improvement, but it is much worse in the right. She has severe impairment in her peripheral vision to the right side up or down in her right eye....if it is not close to the midline of sight (looking straight ahead), she sees nothing to the right of that. It was crazy for me to see what all she didn’t see while she did visual field tests and tried to read eye charts yesterday. It made my heart hurt for her! Keep the prayers coming! She also has a neurologist appointment next week to start looking into the pinched nerve and bulging disc as well, so it’s a long road ahead. Thanks again.
