Police also found the suspectâs ex-girlfriend in the home. She had been shot and was critically injured, and she died hours later at a hospital, police said. Williams said the baby was believed to be the woman and suspectâs child. She is now in state custody.
Damn, that kid is fucked no matter what the outcome might have been. I hope any future foster parents will be a drastic change to a home life like this.
I donât know if anyone remembers these posts from back in November/December, but I am going to go ahead and update now that we have new information.
We took my daughter (now age 3) in for a pre-surgery exam on the 8th and received a more detailed explanation of the surgery and what it entails.
They did blood work and took an x-ray, but I was disappointed to learn that this was not so much to determine the cause of the cataracts and more to check and make sure that there would not be any problems with the planned surgery and anesthesia. The doctor did say that, if it was something like Type I Diabetes, it probably would have shown up in post-natal testing.
The surgery is going to be more complex than I had thought. They are not simply going to use ultrasound to destroy the cataracts; they are going to insert an artificial lens into her eye. This will allow her to see things farther away, but will probably make her nearsighted, which will need correction with either eyeglasses or contacts. It may also require follow up surgeries as she growsâŚ
They are going to do the left eye as planned on February 28, but the doctor said that it would probably be another six months before they do the right eye (unless the cataracts on the right eye start expanding more rapidly).
Thankfully, my company is very understanding and gave me the 8th off and is also giving me the day of the surgery and the day of hospital discharge (if it ends up falling on a weekday) off with pay. The surgery is also essentially free (there is a nominal charge of 400 yen and then something like 1,300 yen per day for hospital food, which is not covered by insurance). We are prepared to shell out the equivalent of 100 USD per night to get a private room (also not covered), which is a small price to pay for a nice quiet environment for my little girl to recuperate. I am thankful to live in a country where we can afford this kind of surgery. I am also looking forward to the day when my little girl can see clearly for the first time, and I hope that sheâll get used to it quickly.
This sounds much like the cataract surgery that my mother and FIL had in the early aughts. My father had cataract surgery in 1979 and it was much different. I remember that he had to wear both contacts and glasses afterwards. (This was the pre-laser days.)
I know this is a scary time for you and your family, but I also know she will pull through like the awesome three-year-old champ that she is. Iâll also keep thinking positive thoughts for the two to four weeks.
Hoping things go very well for her.
For what itâs worth- A friend of mine had this surgery in 2021. One eye at a time. I think they may have done one lens for distance & one for closer up?
He was very pleased with the results and was surprised how vivid the world looked to him afterwards. The diminished sight and color perception snuck up on him & he didnât know what he was missing.
I wish I knew more about how this will play out. The doctors with whom we have spoken are not at all keen to talk about the right eye at this point. They say that the right eye will also need surgery, but they are also saying that a lot will depend on how things go with the left eye. (I donât see a scenario where they donât perform surgery on the right eye at all, but the right eye is apparently much less urgent.)
My daughter just turned three last month, so her brain is at a critical juncture for building the pathways to see things. I am hopeful that her brain will quickly adapt and catch up with the new visual stimulus and she will not even really remember what it was like to see everything through a kind of mist. More than anything, I wish that I could explain to her what is happening and why it is happening.
Close enough.
Peterborough Police Service later on Sunday said in a press release that âmore than 2,000 firearms with clipsâ were reported to be in the truck.
That is similar to my MILâs experience. She was convinced that the surgery made her look old. âI never had all these wrinkles before!â Yes, dear, you did.
Iâm scheduled for cataract surgery on 3/18. Iâm eager to have proper binocular vision and be able to read without gymnastics again.
Good luck! Surgery on the old peepers sucksâŚ
âBoth James and Chief Erika Shields say they believe the democratic candidate was the target. James called it an assassination attempt. Watch Shieldsâ update in the player above.
Shields said no one was hurt, but that a round did hit Greenbergâs clothes.
âWe consider ourselves very fortunate today,â Shields said.â
Reform doesnât require any party adopting a slogan. Whatâs required is getting the work done, instead of wasting time on this. Defunding shouldnât be a partisan issue, but we all know which group traditionally pays lip service to supporting cops:
Weâre letting the conservatives control the narrative when shit like this happens. Itâs no longer about the very real need to make major reforms to our criminal justice system across the board - it becomes about how âthe democrat partyâ is âtoo far to the leftâ for middle AmericaâŚ
oh good idea. use the national guard to round up people too poor to afford housing, and then force them all into camps.
this will go over well.
Of course this is the cruelty-based solution, since management of the pandemic has gone so well in places where large groups of people are in close proximity - like prisons: 
If I were anyone important I would look into whether the advisor had been spending time with representatives of âprivate contractorsâ that housed people traveling to the US from Mexico. I imagine theyâre looking for any opportunity to build new concentration camps.
