Taylor met with the eye Surgeon on Friday.
After some testing and measuring, she is changing his eyeglass prescription again to further align his eyes. She has determined that he has developed some nearsightedness so will add to the prescription to help straighten that out as well.
Because Taylor will have to wear glasses for the nearsightedness, he's not certain he wants to take the change on eye surgery right now. The surgery is about 80% successful, but won't do a thing to clear up him being nearsighted. Since he'll have to wear glasses to resolve that, going through surgery only to have to continue wearing glasses isn't something he wants to take a chance on right now.
He can do the surgery any time in the future, but for now he doesn't see (no pun intended!) a huge advantage.
Before knowing about the nearsighted thing, he had planned to do that surgery in May and the facial reanimation the first week of June. On the way back from Tampa, we called Johns Hopkins to move the June surgery up to May 26th.
So, we're all counting the days until we can again see him smile like he did before March 1, 2007.
