Today was Max' appointment with his pediatric ophthalmologist from the NICU. Originally Dr. L had given Max a clean pass on his eyes back in late spring while he was still in critical condition. At that time, the prognosis was that it would be highly unlikely for any further ophthalmological issue to develop since he made it to that point unscathed.
Unfortunately, today he detected scarring on both of Max' retinae. Dr. L was unsure of the significance or diagnosis, so referred us to someone who specializes in CMV Retinitis. If the damage is being caused by an active viral outbreak, then there may be a real risk to vision which is time sensitive.
Even though the specialist is very busy, she fit us into the schedule for tomorrow!! That's both good and bad news. Good, because it's a time-sensitive issue and we're getting in right away. Bad, because it's usually not a good sign when a specialist clears time in their busy schedule to see you.
