ππ MYLES UPDATE ππ
After having the flu last week, Myles has thankfully made a full recovery and is feeling much better, as are the rest of us. π
This week, Myles had an appointment with the eye doctors. Sadly, they confirmed that his eyes are still not responding to light. This means that when heβs outside, even the slightest bit of light makes it so he canβt see. He also has astigmatism and may be long-sighted, so he now needs glasses. π
This will be a trial for him because of his sensory issues, and we arenβt sure how heβll take to wearing them, but all we can do is try our best. πͺ
A huge thankyou to the lovely people at Ophthalmology in the Cumberland Infirmary for their patience and understanding. Myles has a very short attention span, and they were absolutely amazing with him, even signing to him, which I thought was incredible. ππ
Myles will now be referred to another consultant for further assessment, and weβll know more once we meet them. He will also be supported by a teacher for the visually impaired, alongside his teacher for the deaf. π§βπ«β¨
He has also been spending a couple of hours a week at the local hospice and absolutely loves it. Everyone there is so kind and takes wonderful care of him. Heβs already looking forward to going back to what he calls βthe nursesβ house.β π‘π
Next week is a big one, full of appointments. Myles has his scans and other tests to check that he is still cancer free. He also has cardiology, ENT, physio, and the behaviour specialists. As always, weβll update you all when we get the results. ππ
With love,
