Jodi saw the eye Dr. in SLC today. He is going to do surgery on her eye lid to make it permanently and partially closed for a while, at least until the eye nerves that were affected by the stroke heal. No one knows how long that will take. He will put a weight in her lid and bring the outer corner together. The surgery is taking place next Friday and it will help her so that she does not have so many eye infections. She has one right now. She is having two surgeries next week. One on Tuesday and one on Friday. Wow! The good news is that the Dr. is noted for being the best in the United States and he is going to follow her facial healing as well. After a year if her facial droop is not healed, he will be doing the nerve transplant to help her regain her normal look. It will not be 100% but it will help her facial droop much less noticeable.
