Carters new eyes
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Shai I’m carters mom and if your reading this you probably already know he was born with lamellar ichthyosis. He is 7 years old now and what you may not know is his ichthyosis causes a condition called ectropion of the eyes. In short carter can not close his eyes. He cannot blink, he sleeps with his eyes open and is often experiencing lots of pain and discomfort because of this. We will be driving up to La Jolla California multiple times to see an incredible oculoplastic surgeon who will hopefully be able to lift carters lower eyelid by making a tiny incision at the corner of his eyes and stitching it together and we are hoping that procedure will be followed by skin grafting for his upper eyelid to create a hood for his eye and allow him to be able to open and close his eyes comfortably. As you can imagine this will be a painful and strenuous process. We will most likely have to stay in California post op for up to a week. Any donations, kind thoughts and prayers would be more appreciated than I can say as this will be a very long and hard process for our family with a lot of uncertainty and unknown outcomes. Thank you for your time and for reading about my sweet boy.
