Peggy has been having some trouble with her eyes yesterday and today. It seems that she was having a hard time keeping her lids open last night with Eric the night nurse, which scared her. She did not sleep well since she was worried that she would not be able to let him know that she was awake. Today her eyes are irritated and it is very difficult to spell with her. She is understandly very scared and concerned about this - her anxiety level is very high. It is not clear if this is progression of the ALS affecting just her lids or if there is some loss of ocular movement. It is more likely that Peggy's fatigue is affecting the speed of her eye movement. We'll know more tomorrow when Dr. Davis does his weekly eye exam. Cory and Dr. Davis are aware of this issue and we will be addressing everything tomorrow in Dr. Davis's visit.
Peggy is heading out to her podiatrist appointment this afternoon. Hopefully she will be able to get some rest later. She was up in the wheelchair Friday, Sunday, and will be up in it again today for her trip to the doc.
