NEW ORLEANS (Friday, July 31, 2009) – It's been two days since Matthew received his full-leg cast – and it started to irritate him Thursday night (which led to an incredibly fitful sleep for my wife and I).
No big deal, though. As much as it is uncomfortable for Matthew today, he'll be grateful we did this for him years later down the road. Hopefully, this additional Ponsetti Method, as it's called, will be successful and avoid us from having surgery.
I don't know what will happen with his crossed eyes. Pam made an appointment with a pediatric ophthalmologist in a couple of weeks. And it looks at this point that he probably will need surgery to correct his problems.
If he doesn't, our regular ophthalmologist said, Matthew's left eye would likely not develop and he essentially would be blind in one eye.
Hey – at least it's the weekend.
