-- Hilary's Medical Situation --

November 15, 2005

Hilary had a follow-up appointment with Dr. Carter, the neuro-ophthalmologist at the medical school, today, to evaluate how her right eye vision was doing after 4 days of very high steroid dosing and blood thinners. It turns out that her vision in that eye IS somewhat improved. CLICK ON THIS LINK to see pictures of each of her visual field tests; these are provided so you can visualize (no pun intended) this a little better.

So, Hilary will taper down the steroid dose to “high” instead of “really, really high”, see Dr. Carter again in a week, and repeat the visual fields test again on the lower dose of steroids.

Good news two days in a row!

Thank you, God.
