Gwen had her recheck appointment with the pediatric ophthalmologist this morning, and it wasn't the news everyone (including the doctor!) thought it would be.
After her last recheck the hemorrhages on her retina were clearing up and the doctor was very pleased with Gwen's progress. But today there were some hemorrhages she felt were new, and some in the vitreous now. Nothing that seems to be affecting her vision at this point, but those vitreous hemorrhages could if they move into the wrong places, and clearly we don't want retinal hemorrhages. Everyone thought her hemorrhages would be clearing up, so this was a little shocking.
The ophthalmologist wants us to see a retinal specialist, so we're off to that on Wednesday morning. We'll see how it goes! Right now, we don't really know what's causing these, so I don't have any more real information. We'll see what the specialist says.
