The Eye

Well, here is an update on the eye as I haven't had a very good internet connection all Summer as we were Camp Hosting at Timothy Lake up  by Mt. Hood. I had an appointment with the Dr. yesterday, and he cauterized the bottom hole that drains from the eye through to the nose. He had done this previously but, it seemed to have opened up a little. He said it is a delicate situation to do, as you don't want to overdo it and cause scar tissue, but you need to melt it enough to completely close the hole. 
He said the Cornea is still very dry, partially because of the bad infection I got in it in Feb 2013 when we were in Florida. He did change the eye drop that I had been using to a different one which tends to make my eye lids more sticky, but also stays on the cornea better.
As far as vision improvement, there hasn't been much, although I am just about back to where it was before the infection set, in which actually took me back to ZERO. 
We will be leaving for Southern California the middle of next week for the Winter, so now I need to find a Cornea Specialist in the Palm Springs area.
Keep us in your Prayers and Thoughts.

Until next time, God Bless You All,

Filbert
