Maggie is still off of her oxygen! And she’s doing fantastic! I am very excited about that.
On the other hand, Evie had her eyes checked today and it wasn’t a surprise when the doctor said that it would be best to treat her retinopathy now. Her left eye is “pre-threshold” which means that the blood vessels are progressing where they should not be. Her right eye isn’t quite as bad, but is moving in that direction and it doesn’t make sense to wait a week for it to get bad. So, she is scheduled for laser surgery on Monday around noon. I think the hardest part for me is that she will have to be re-intubated (oxygen tube down her throat) and given an IV for nutrients and anesthesia. So, that pushes us back a bit on heading to Bozeman by at least 2 weeks.

Dear Carrie, Joe, and girls, many prayers for the coming week. I am praying all will go well and Evie will soon be extubated again and well on her way!
