I'll be meeting with the eye doctor (I know there's a medical term, but it's late) tomorrow (March 27) at 10am as she gives Gwyneth another exam. If things aren't any better with her Retinopathy of Prematurity, she'll probably undergo a laser eye treatment on both eyes following the exam.
This is a fairly common occurrence with micro-preemies, and by far, not the most horrible thing that could be going on with Gwyneth right now, so we are not worried. The laser surgery is slightly uncomfortable, but she will be sedated and will be feeling fine shortly after.
Whether everything looks good at the exam, or the laser eye treatment takes care of the problem, we know it's all in God's hands.
We appreciate your thoughts and prayers concerning this.
And, Gwyneth has gained a few ounces in the past few days, which is awesome news!
