Retinal Detachment

The doctor's worst fear came through. My baby developed a retinal detachment.

This is not good. Specially for someone that has recently rejected a cornea and needed a re graft.

But this is not the worst news. The Electrodiagnose reveal no or little brain reaction for the left eye. Is almost as we have lost the left eye. But that would only be expected is a total retinal detachment, witch wasn't the case. And structurally the eye is holding on, and doesn't explain this result.

Even thought, the doctors want to give some hope, they don't truly believe in it. But at the same time they say she is reacting to light, and that there's still something there.

I really don't know what to think........ But for the first time in my life I'm asking for a miracle.

As I see it, it can be one of three:

1. The brain signal is so weak that the machine can't read it (said by the doctor);
2. The eye was too traumatised and needs more time (My interpretation);
3. The eye has lost every little capacity of giving vision.

I want to believe in 1 or 2. I know she will never see much. But I would like it to have some function and not be only a "rusty piece".

Time will tell.

But I'm really hopping, as my baby is so stubborn, that she'll kept this way and go against the odds.
