OK.  The eye doctor saw Meaghan today and he made me feel better and worse at the same time.  The good news is that Meaghan's eyes and vision check out just fine right now.  The bad (not really bad) news is that the medicine Meaghan is taking to "kill the bug" can in some cases cause damage to the optic nerve at the back of the eye.  The first symptom of the damage is loss in color perception.  Like I said, Meaghan is doing fine and she's been on the medicine for 6 weeks already.  I will take her back to be checked again in 3 months unless we see some change before then.

Other than that the week was pretty uneventful.  I haven't seen much change in her health.  She is the same to me that she has been since the first hospitalization.  All the waiting for more tests to get the information we need to know how successful the therapies have been is enough to make me totally crazy.  That being said, April 23rd is Meaghan's next CT and doctors appointment.  That is the next time I will have any answers.  It feels like forever when I know in reality that time will be here before I know it.

Check out how Meaghan has been relaxing at home.  This is the first time I let her go with the polish.  She did a GREAT job and had so much fun.  Gotta love kids polishes, they wash right off.
