Dr Update...

So I had to yet again hold down one of my children for a procedure... It never gets easier and I could feel the tears coming but I pushed through them. I hate putting them through pain, knowing they are scared and yet I am the one holding them down... I hate it... I can see Liem is a fighter and stubborn as hell. He fought through bit with every bit he had. Yes I wanted him to settle for the Dr but at the same time I am proud of him for fighting with all he had :)

The Dr says he tested postive for the virus CMV, and forgive me but I hvent researched it yet, but it is simialar to Taxio in that it happens in utero and can lie dorment forever. However Liem was ok today. Still scaring in the back or his right eye near his retinal vision but the scar is done and will not spread any further, he also does not have any other "new" lesions. So as of now he is good, but he will need follow up by a Retinal specialist every 6months or so... Of course I am nervous of what could be but all I can think now is thank God he has some vision and isnt blind. J keeps thinking of the worse case sceniros but bottom line is he can see, and we can strengthen that eye, It could have spread to his brain causing developmental delays but it didnt... I have to be thankful for that... Although I have wondered why... I just pray and ask everyone else to pray that this virus doesnt comeback... It is bad enough deal with the effects once I just hope it does not resurface...

And while we are praying if we oculd say one more for me... The Dr found a Mole she doesn't like and is sending me to a Derm. to have it looked at. I have been pretty adament about sunscreen lately but admit to slacking many times... Let's pray it is nothing serious... Thanks :)
