Got an update for one and all.
Everyone can remember the many sagas of Tony's eyes. We have been
working since December to get a special therapy for him called Prose.
Prose are prosthetic contact lenses that have a reservoir for saline
solution built in so that Tony's eyes are both shielded and
lubricated all day long. We finally got the insurance company to
approve the Prosthetics. Tony is going to Chicago tomorrow and
having his first appointment on Friday. YEAH! We are so hopeful
that these lenses will be a quality of life changer for Tony! A lot
of people have trouble with them but not many people have the
incentive Tony has to make it work out. Keep fingers crossed
everyone!
Beyond that, we haven't much else to
report. We are just working to keep moving forward. It often feels
like there is always something else wrong. On the bright side, Tony
has begun riding his bike regularly. He started with “Ride to Work
Day” in late April and has spent the last few Sunday's on short
rides with our friend Colin and his fantastic and adventurous 9 year
old daughter! What a chance for Tony, to watch and ride with a new
Mountain Biker developing her skills!
Its great to finally be at
this point! Peace out all.
