So Far, So Good

Happier Ed!













May 1, 2007. Ed took the Voriconazole oral tablets for 6 months after the fungus came back. He had blood tests regularly to see if his liver could take it. Lucky him, it did. All the fungus is gone (we pray) and Ed has been off the oral tabs for 1 month. Checkup today showed all is clear. We go back monthly as those little Aspergillous spores could still be hiding. We watch daily for any eye irritation or light sensitivity. The vision in that eye is still awful. About 20/200. So, in another month, he'll get to see if a contact lens might help. He is still on the Combigan twice a day just to make sure the pressure in the eye stays low. And today, he got to stop the Voriconazole eye drops. So great because they sting. He's been on them for 9 months!
Ed is a trooper although the loss of vision is an ongoing reason to get down in the dumps. I understand totally. We kept all the vials and pill bottles and here is our photo of a happy Ed now that he is off the Vori. Please send us a prayer. Thanks, Dayna.
