glaucoma

Oh boy
my boy
my sweet
baby boy.

I don't
even know
where
to begin.
I could confess
and say
I wrote my last post
on purpose
so that
this post
wouldn't be
the first.

Cue sad
overly dramatic
music...
is it over kill
if I say
it all started
when we lost
yes, another contact
again
the night before
the appointment.
It was our
longest lasting one
over 3 months.
It's gone
along with
the wasted hours
we spent looking
for it.

wear's the contact?
wear's Easton?!

Over it.
Over all of it.

There is a little
bit of everthing
as I write this

anger
sadness
fear
anxiety

pride
relief
reality

He has Glaucoma.

Well he has had
Glaucoma
wait
I don't even
want to capitalize
that word
I hate it's power.
His glaucoma was
under control
until now.

So his numbers
right
wondering
waiting
for that number
there were a few
lowest... 28
highest... 38
remember 40 is bad
so we are treating
him.

eyedrops for now
eyedrops now
for a long time.

possibly surgery
most likely surgery
if the numbers
don't go down
within 2 months time.

go back
in 1 month
to recheck
I'm loosing
hope
but there is a chance
that just drops
will help.

I have to say
Easton was
again
a Rock

His vision
a balance
that we can not
control
but he was so
so strong
he endured.

The Dr. said
that other Dr.'s
don't believe her
when she talks about
his case
and how cooperative
he is.
She was happy
and confident
that she didn't need
to have an exam
under anesthesia.

There was other
good news
his optic nerve
showed little
if any
damage
so we caught it
in it's very
early stages.

He is not
in any pain
there is nothing
he did
we did
to start
it
but it's here
it's reality
it's 2012


And we will
continue
to move
forward
together.

I'm learning
when life
gets messy

make a mess

 

We will

pick up 

and

move on.

This is part
of our journey
See the Distance.
