G's procedure yielded a surprise.
His retina is detaching.
Apparently, it is too far gone to be resolved with lasers. The doctor wants to put in a scleral buckle. I think that's a kind of ring that holds the eye together. I'll have to do some research.
The problem is G's cold. The scleral buckle requires 3 hours of anesthesia, which the anesthesiologist will not approve until G is healthy for some time. The surgery is scheduled in four weeks.
In the mean time, G is supposed to be slow & calm... two words that I always use to describe G. ahem.
I'm sure that this is going to stress out the new (busy mom) babysitter. But I don't think I have any other option but to ask her to try keeping G slow & calm. For four weeks.
Me - I've already yelled at G. I want him to understand that he HAS to stop jumping around. And of course, he can't.
We could use a whole infusion of peace around here.
