Update: Eye Exam and Surgery

Quick update from the Eye Institute of Texas Surgery Center. Hazel's eye pressure is high in both eyes today...they were in the high 30s and we need them to be below 20 ideally.  This is pretty rough news to handle. 

Dr Smith is placing a plate on both eyes, which will be directly above the eye and hidden beneath her eyelids. She is also placing a tube into her left eye to relieve pressure. Hazel will need the same type of tube to be surgically placed in the right eye in six weeks. 

This news sucks really bad but we are out of options...we've been fighting this option for a long time but this is what has to be done despite the risks involved. 

I'll try and update or post other pictures when she gets out. Should be done by 8:30 am or so.
