[tri-med] Re: Glaucoma/Pneumonia and medications



It becomes a decision based on balancing out the two conditions: 1)
Have surgery now to reduce the pressure and hopefully preserve his
eyesight but risk the possibility of complications to his lungs due
to the pneumonia, or 2) Continue with the medications and having to
deal with the side-effects, or I guess the 3rd would be to stop the
medications.

Any advice/support would be much appreciated.

I have no experience with the glaucoma  but I will say that the
anastesialogists are always very cautious with our triers ( for Rebecca's
first surgery  for tubes in her ears they even asked me about a do not
resuscitate order!!! they had also planned to keep her over
night.........she came thought it with such flying colours that they sent
her home post op.) speak with the Doc's again and maybe they will feel
better about his lung condition.
