Shots

It's been a few weeks since my last entry. We've been running around with checkups and things, but I think things are finally getting better.
Following Mike's sudden improvement a few weeks ago, things seemed to plateau a bit. The pressure and inflammation seemed to level out and the doctor said he thought it was time to proceed with methotrexate injections into the eyes. We agreed. Mike received an injection into the left eye and when the eye was re-checked a few days later, the pressure was down to 21 (basically normal) and the lymphocytes and inflammation appeared a lot better. The doctor said he was "as pleased as can be" with that eye. We were so relieved. Mike then agreed to get an injection in the other eye.
When they treated the right eye (the first eye treated over a week ago), they also drew fluid and we have not yet heard any biopsy results. We expect the results to be normal, just as the fluid drawn a few weeks ago was normal. Still, we hold our breath whenever any biopsy results are hanging out there.
Since the first eye injection, Mike says his vision has greatly improved. He calls it "HDTV." The second eye treated is also improving. We hope that eye is as impressive to the doctor when we see him again on December 3.
Obviously, we had a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
