If you have noticed that the eye monster has returned, it has indeed. We struggled with test after test.... breakout after breakout for over 3 months. After the last biospy, they determined that Drew's breakouts were being caused by a virus, the same virus as a simple coldsore. He just happens to have them around his right eye. So, the doctor gave us a prescription for an oral medication to suppress the virus. If we are able to suppress the virus for a year, then the reoccurance should be rare. He had outbreaks for well over 3 months solid...one after another...at one point his eye was almost completely swollen shut. However, the medicine seemed to work. For 6 weeks he has not had an outbreak... Until this weekend. So, we were back to the doctor's. Our dosage has been upped....and hopefully, we're on the mend. So, we ask for prayer that this dosage can suppress the virus for a full year.
Ironically, we're having Drew's first professional photos done on Saturday. We never got around to it before now. After not working for 6 months (getting to be a stay-at-home-mom..totally worth it) .....the money went to other things. We have been really excited about this session with a great photog....just hope he can do some photoshop magic!!
