Quick Mercy Update

I know there are many people checking the blog to see about Mercy, so I will relay the info I got briefly over the phone. I'll write a long report tomorrow for those who care...

- Mercy's heart is NOT any worse than it was in Sept. So we will not have to look at Chemotherapy... yeah!

- The ENT is looking at maybe putting tubes in her ears to help with hearing, and to start working on de-bulking the hemangioma around the eye this summer.

- Mercy will have a specially made contact for her which will have a rigid center and a soft outside... the doctor thinks this one will stay in better. That remains to be seen. After we have two weeks of consistent contact wearing, we will start patching the eye up to one hour a day to try to strengthen it.

I think that is the Cliff Notes of Mercy's day. Eric tried to make it to Lexington in the snow, but it got bad, and there was an accident on the highway, and Mercy was screaming her head off, so he exited when he could and is at a hotel until it clears tomorrow.

I'll fill in more details when I have them!
