Beni update...

Shboom Dec 17, 2009 10:54 PM

Well it was back to Cornell today for Beni and his regular Optho recheck. It's always a little amusing the amount of techs that stop by when they know he is in the building. Even in the hallway when we are leaving it's always... there's Beni! lol

Anyway.. as for the recheck and the testing everything went well once again. There was no signs of corneal abrasions, the tear test went well and the pressure reading was 6. I have noticed however that Beni's vision is slowly deteriorating which is probably good rather than losing it all at once. Still though there are times that he amazes me with what he can see and what he does!

I'm always happy to read your updates, and to know that Beni is doing well. As for Beni, he probably enjoys his trip with you (how long a drive is it?) and then all his fans crowding around.

Mom, I'm happy Beni is doin good!

Anne... on a good travel day it takes me about 45-50 minutes to get there. Not really far at all.

I'm happy to hear Beni had another good check-up. Asher's last two visits were great...he has gained about 1 1/2 pounds in the last month.

Merry Christmas to you,your family and the dogs. Mine love getting their Christmas stockings I'll bet yours do too!

Beni continues to be an inspiration! YAY Beni!

And how could the hospital staff not have a fondness
for their favorite patient?

Good to know Beni is doing well! It's no surprise everyone loves him and is happy to see him. . .
