"Some Progress Today"

Well I just got off the phone with Dar. She continues to excell with her vocalizing. I think the phone calls mean a great deal to her. She has such a good and happy spirit.

We spent almost 45 minutes practicing her words and trying new ones. Resting well and very happy Dar continues to reach and grab those stars that you all so faithfully pray for. Thank you so much for your continued support.

I spoke with MaryNella, Dar's nurse and learned that Dr. Duncan from Kentfield Rehab Hospital will be visiting Dar tomorrow or Saturday at the latest. Dr. Duncan will be prescribing the anti-biotics that Dar will take just prior to her procedure.Still not knowing just when the procedure will be, timing is somewhat critical. It is my hope that by Monday we will be headed in a definate direction and have a definitive plan.

At this point I don't really believe Dar's surgery will be next week, but you never know. most likely the following.

On Thursday Dar has an appointment with a neuro optahamologist. I hope by the end of the visit we will have some answers regarding Dar's sight. Please continue your prayers this week. It is still a little uncertain if Dar will go to the appointment by ambulance or if I will take her or we take the Whistle Stop bus for non emergency disabled persons. I will check with our insurance tomorrow and find out. Which ever way it goes I am looking forward to the visit. I am told this doctor is one of the best in the country. I am anxious to learn more.

Well just a short update. I hope you all have a great evening and are looking forward to the weekend. Love to all and again thank you for your prayers and support.

Love,
Dar/Danny

Wow, that is terrific news for thursday. Wonder who the doc is, Jer just told me a story he saw on some medical show where they removed an eye tooth, implanted a micro chip then implanted the chip/tooth just above the orbit floor and sight was restored.
says it is absolutely the truth
! Interesting huh, will have to search this out. Hang in and give her hugs. Love us

Wonder if this doc knows of Lloyd Vogel or your Aunt Dorothys past husband Paul Person, he's pediatric ophthalmologist
