Jarem's eye drama.


Yesterday Jarem had an eye appointment to get a second opinion on a surgery that a doctor in Utah wants to do. Well this all started with him getting shot in the eye with a nail gun while working construction as a summer job in 2007. After he was shot in the eye he was rushed into surgery and they closed up the hole that the nail made in the eye. Ever since then Dr. Moffit in Idaho Falls has been trying to get his vision better, but no such luck; it seems with every surgery he has the worse his vision has gotten. He's had 7 surgeries now just on his eye. In Janruary he went to Dr. Elliot of Pocatello to get they eye muscles tightened to make the eye look more normal because it was becoming droopy. This summer he went to Utah and spoke with a few doctors about what to do next to just get his eye to look more normal ( the surgery from Dr. Elliot did help but not as perfect as expected). One doctor in Utah wanted to basically re-do the surgery Dr. Elliot performed and he is positive he can make it perfect. While waiting to get the surgery approved, he saw another doctor in Idaho Falls to get his second opionion, so we will wait (unpatiently) to see if he will be having another surgery this Christmas break! The picture above is from the day after he got shot on August 15, 2007. CrAzY right?!?!
