Dr. Parma called me just a little while ago and informed me that he has seen a little growth in Colby's eyes (Praises!!!!! for even the little bit of growth that he saw) but that it was the time to do surgery. He is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow between 12 and 5:30...not sure when exactly. They will put him back on the ventilator for a short period of time and he will be put to sleep for about an hour to an hour and a half. The laser surgery itself will only take about 20 minutes but prepping and such will take a little longer.
Dr. Parma will actually be doing one surgery now and leaving some area untouched in the hopes that Colby's eyes will continue to grow a little bit more. Every little bit of growth helps with his peripheral vision and it is very important to give him as much of a chance as possible to see more.
We feel very comfortable with Dr. Parma and trust his decisions. Please pray for Colby---especially his eyes---over the next few days. We need our prayer warriors!!! :)
God Bless each and every one of you!
