As I have briefly mentioned before, Noelle has been seen at CHLA for her eyes. She has glaucoma, coloboma and possible cataracts. Since glaucoma and cataracts are typically seen in older people there are very few doctors with experience in treating and operating on kids with these conditions.
Our wonderful Ophthalmologist that we have been seeing since Noelle was in the NICU has connected us up with a great Doctor at CHLA who has also seen a few other kids with Noelle's same syndrome. We feel she is the best fit for this procedure. We ask for your prayers this next week as she goes in for surgery on Tuesday. I am nervous, but know she will be in good hands with the best qualified doctor around.
She will most likely have a number of surgeries on her eyes as they try to get them working the best they can. We will keep you posted on her progress.
