Paul's Eyes Update

For those who know about Paul's eye problem, we went to see Dr. Schaal, Retina Specialist) today for the 3rd time, and after some more eye test, she said his eyes were a little bit better than they were last week. Said they would probably go back and forth like this for some time. They won't get any better than what they are right now, but are holding their own at the present time. She said there should be no problem with his driving for the time being, and maybe never would. Its called Adult Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy type 2, which is a genetic condition. There was no preventing it and there is no cure for it. So time will tell.

Will be praying that it doesn't get any worse. I am assuming that he would be satisfied if it just stays the way it is.

Yep, your right about that. He seems to be more at ease now that he's talked with Dr. Schaal about it. Just have to wait and see.
