Update: Dr Blair said her cornea is "melting" from infection. She is getting a new procedure. Her inner eyelid will be pulled up and sewn shut. This should help the cornea heal.
I slept on the couch and put an antiseptic eye drop in Lucy's eye once an hour throughout the night. It looks much worse. Ray has taken her back to the doctor this morning. We have given up hope of her ever being able to see with that eye again. my hope is now that she doesn't lose the eye. Update: Dr Blair said her cornea is "melting" from infection.

When we adopted Winnie, she was finishing treatment for a melting ulcer on her eye. She is fine ... telling this to give you hope from a successful outcome. Winnie's case wasn't as complicated as Lucy's though. Thank you for keeping us updated, even when the news isn't good. Thinking of you.

Spell check changed "Winnie" to "winner". How fitting.

That sweet Lucy has been having such a time. I am so thankful she has such wonderful parents. I know how emotionally draining this can be. I hope her doctor can help her find some comfort.
