Jack, ever the trooper, is adapting well. He has dressings on his left hand and right foot so they have messed up his balance and he is unable to walk on his own-quite frustrating for a fellow who quickly accomodated to being able to swiftly walk away from Mommy and Daddy when he wanted to. We think that he is focusing on things better but I can't get out of my head what Dr. Stager said about Jack's central vision being affected by the pigmentary changes on the retina. I googled it on the hotel computer last night and it seems that pigmentary changes are associated with macular degeneration. Imagine having a spot right in the middle of your eye so that you can only see things around it-that's macular degeneration and macular degeneration gets worse with time. I am anxious to get home and see Dr. Cogen as soon as possible. It just so happens he is a retinal specialist and he has been seeing Jack since he was born. If he did not mention seeing retinal changes before now maybe !
they have been present since birth and it means nothing. God has known Jack since before he formed him in the womb. He has good plans for Jack. I don't understand everything and that's frustrating but God is teaching me that I really don't need to know or understand everything. No matter what, he will take care of Jack, David, and me.
