Update

Just a quick update to ask for specific prayer for Addie's eyes. Her eye exam yesterday showed that her ROP is advancing, and the eye doctor expects her to require surgery soon to try to stop the progression. The surgery can damage her peripheral vision (among other things) and only has a 25% success rate in preventing further progression. It would also mean she would go back on the ventilator for the surgery and take steps back in her feedings. When faced with a shunt surgery, this isn't quite as scary, but it's also a HUGE deal. It would be yet another set back and yet another area where Addie is starting life with a distinct disadvantage.. .we're just so ready for her sweet body to catch a break. She's really made tremendous progress, and we are just so incredibly proud of her and how hard she works every day. ..we just really would love to see some things start to go her way so maybe she doesn't have to work quite as hard.
