GVHD COULD BE STILL HERE!

Terry went to the eye doctor yesterday and did not get the news he wanted to hear! He has been having lots of problems with his eyes. If you look at a picture before leukemia and after leukemia, you can see a difference! Didn't realize this until yesterday! The eye doctor told him that most likely the GVHD is staying at low bay in his eyes still. The lids are scratching his eyes. They are like fine sandpaper inside of them. Doctor Parker says this is most likely because of GVHD although he doesn't see it. Don't know what this means really until we see the doctor when he goes back to the BMT. I've got to call Lidia to see if she has heard from Dr. Parker yet to see if they want to see him. He is not a happy camper! BUT, like I told him it could be worse! May have to live with this the rest of his life! Lots of bone marrow patients do. They just stay on the immune suppression meds. Not much else except steroids which the eye doc gave him to use. Will let you all know as soon as we know what they are or are not going to do. Please pray it goes away! We know his eye sight will never be the same. He had GREAT vision! God Bless You! XOXOXOXOXO
