Cate’s Trip to Pittsburgh- Part 4: Post-Op

Cate is recovering well!  Her Easter Sunday follow up appointment was blessedly uneventful.  Her cornea is continuing to clear and more of her pupil is becoming visible.  No signs of infection or retinal detachment.  She’ll be fitted for baby glasses/goggles this week and will transition to a contact back home.  The esteemed Doctor wants to remain her primary care provider, evaluating her and making long term decisions for her care.  Our closer but not local pedi opthomologist in DFW will monitor her vision progress and pressure rates (watching for glaucoma).  We’ll be coming back to Pittsburgh in about six weeks for another round of tests and exams to determine the long term success of her surgery and potential for vision.  Then, we’ll be back about every six months, at least in the beginning.
