Post surgery check-ups

Mia had her post surgery check-up which went very well. The Dr. who did the surgery sat with us for almost an hour to go over how Mia has been the past two months. He did an ultrasound on Mia's forehead to see if the injections are working... they are! The areas were they did injections are not showing any blood flowing in the tissue. That's a good sign that nothing is growing in those areas. Of course we couldn't see the area between the inner & outer skull, that will require an MRI. At least outside the skull is showing promise. With this news, we are looking to schedule another injection soon and this time he will focus on Mia's eye orbit. This will hopefully take pressure off her eye and start improving Mia's vision.

Mia also had another vision check up too which went pretty well, for the most part. The Dr. felt that her vision could start getting better in Mia's right eye. We did get a new prescription for glasses and her left eye will just be plain glass, just need to work on the right eye.
