eye healing
Nick's hydrop in his right eye has healed ( he no longer needs to wear the arm casts) but he is unable to see out of it because of the huge scarring. Nick will have a cornea transplant in his right eye and in the left eye have the CXL procdure. But this is the deal--Nick is unable to have his cornea thickness measured to know if the CXL can even be done. Dr. Stulting will still file for a compassionate exception with the Emory IRB & FDA. Keep in your prayers that Nick's cornea will be thick enough to have the CXL procedure. In 3 weeks we will get an update to where the IRB is. Within 4-12 weeks hopefully Nick will have all his eye procedures. I will post updates
