It's been a few days since I have posted an update, really...

Yesterday was such a blur, we had received horrible news regarding Brantley's right eye. The ophthalmologist we had seen, had terrible bedside manner and basically explained to us that Brantley's eye is showing signs of Optic Nerve Damage. And once that Optic nerve is damage, that there was basically no going back. That our son would simply be blind in that eye and we needed to do whatever we can to protect his "good" eye. His words exactly were "Sorry to be the bearer of bad news"... definitely not something you want to hear as a parent. I left that appointment feeling very hopeless and sad for my son. But I decided it was important to get a second opinion to see if another DR would be willing to try EVERYTHING they possibly could to help him regain at least some of his eyesight back. So huge thanks to those who reached out to me and gave me such wonderful leads. Brantley has a second appt with an Ophthalmologist next week at the U of M. The assistant reassured me that the Dr's will do whatever they can before deeming him blind in his right eye. When we met with the Plastics specialist, he seemed optimistic about him regaining his eyesight back as the swelling continued to go down. So, I will continue to go to the ends of the earth for our sweet boy. 

Fast forward to today's appointment; we met with a medicine rehabilitation doctor that wanted to see how he was doing all around. She checked his reflexes and that seemed great and then she asked to see him walk in the hall and noticed that he still has a significant limp, so she said that she would like to order an x-ray of the hips to make sure they aren't missing anything. She told us that she would call us with results once they came back. Well, she called us and told us his hips looked great BUT she noticed that his pelvis (Iliac Crest) was a-symmetrical and that could potentially mean he has a fracture in his pelvis which could be contributing to the limp that he has. 😢 So tomorrow we will be going back down to Gilette's to get more extensive x-rays to confirm if it is a fracture or not. I am praying that it isn't! Our poor boy has been through enough!

Please Please Please... keep this boy in your thoughts and prayers! He NEEDS it.
