I'm not sure how, but Mary Louise's eyes were back to a stage one today and David's were just barely a stage 2. The doctor in New Orleans (Dr. Gordon with Tulane hospital) ordered another exam for Monday and said surgery (and therefore transport) is not yet necessary.
I know I'm asking an awful lot, but do you think it possible that they'll have completely healthy eyes next week? (OK, I'll settle for vast improvement if I must).
I will go back to my original travel plan now. I will return to Lake Charles tomorrow to be with the little ones and go to the internist on Thursday.
The services for Mommom are on Saturday. Visitation is at 8:30AM and the service starts at 10AM. Burial will be in Scott (Lafayette) that afternoon. The obituary will run on Wednesday and Thursday at least - possibly Friday and will have all of the details for those interested.
I am in total disbelief that all of this is happening - yet I feel present and in the moment at the same time...or maybe I'm just totally emotionally and physically exhausted. That could easily be it. Nonetheless, I'm here and I refuse to feel sorry for myself as it wastes the precious time I've been given. I maintain that I am in fact lucky.
Many thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers.
XO, Heather

it was a great feeling to be able to call my wife and tell her that the babies are doing well, and the possibility of surgery is held off another week. I think someone realized we have enough on our plate right now. I also got to hold both of my precious babies this evening. just me no sharing, but they do miss their mother, so come home Heather.
