After ROP Surgery...stories?  

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
My daughter is now 5 months adjusted age. She was born at 27 weeks 2 days. we were in the nicu for 9 weeks and 4 days. After we were out for a month we went back in because she had to have ROP surgery. She had stage 3 threshold disease but he thought he caught it fairly early. The surgery seemd to work and the rop regressed. However he said it may not fix damage that was already caused. Now at 2 months adjusted age. She is not tracking at all. She does not focus. It just seems like her eyes sorta float. Quite like Steevie Wonder. Any ROP success stories? Or non success stories?

I'm sure I'm mis-spelling it but,
Retinopathy Of Prematurity, it is a commom eye problem among preemies.
