We just got back home from a trip to send off our oldest son. He is going to Koera for a year! I miss him already. However, God has filled up my life. These new additions to our family are a huge blessing. Houston, Keeley & Braydon made the trip to Little Rock exciting and adventure filled. Casey kept us grounded with the reality that our family unit is now much bigger than before! I am truely blessed~

Here is an updated picture of my eyes. My left eye is still "big & buggy". However, I have depth perception now and the light only hurts in some instances (like twilight). I am truely blessed.

Hi. Just found your blog because I was researching "autoimmune specialists". I have Grave's disease, was dx'd in 1999, Radioactive Iodine the same year. I have pronounced TED as well. I was also accepted into the Mayo study, but opted out because I did not want to incurr the expense only to be infused with saline if I was one of those that didn't get the drug. I am amazed how much improvement you have achieved with treatment. I am having orbital decompression surgical intervention at the Shiley Eye Clinic at UC San Diego. The eye that was worse off was done first, and it wasn't a complete success. I am scheduled to have the other one done next week. I have a feeling they learned from the first one, and the second one will be better, and maybe they can redo the surgery on the first after a healing period. After OD is healed, then we will do plastic surgery for the lid retraction. If anything, I can see the Mayo infusion seems to have helped with this for you. You lids seem to cover much more of the eye than they did, and inflammation seems reduced in the tissue around the eye. I hope you keep blogging on this. I haven't yet found a doctor who specializes in autoimmune disorders, so if you or anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
Many thanks to those super kind people (who lie) and say that I am beautiful. I am so thankful that I no longer scare little kids with my eyes.
Looking Nice.... I Like Your Post...
