Levi had a good trip and settled in fine. The eye surgeon already impressed us. She showed up right away to examine Levi. Then she spent a long while with us explaining whats wrong with his eye. She confirmed that his left eye looks good. The right eye has two spots of scar tissue that have detached the retina in those areas. Levi does respond to light in that eye which is a good sign. So the surgery involves three tiny inscisions. One for a tube to pump the eye up and keep it inflated. One is for a small scope to see what is going on. The other is for a microscopic cutter. She will remove the scar tissue that is causing the issue. She will also remove the gel around that area to relax the retina. All in all it should be quick and isnt major as far as surgeries go. The outcome will not be known for a while down the road. The hope is to give Levi some form of functional vision in that eye.

The surgery is around noon. Please pray for Levi and the surgeon. We will post tomorrow with an update of how it went.
