Tomorrow morning Brianna is having laser eye surgery to correct the ROP in both eyes. We are staying at a local hotel for a couple of days so that we can be close to her. We spoke with the eye surgeon tonight and he is the chief of eye surgery and has been doing this for 18 years. He has done this procedure thousands of times in a year so we know she is in great hands.
We need to be at the hospital at 6:45 am so we are going to go get something to eat and go to sleep early tonight as its going to be a long day tomorrow...the eye surgeon said to plan on the surgery taking 1-2 hrs. If we don't do this procedure he said that in his opinion she would be completely blind in about 14 days so we don't have much choice other than to do the laser surgery. She is in the best care here but still very scary.
