Miya has eaten again today, she now closes her eyes and keep them closed for most of the day,when she does open them i manage to get her drops in.she is moving around more although iam having to feed her by hand,

Yvonne, I am glad to hear she is moving more, hopefully she will begin to open her eyes soon. Have you tried ointment on her eyes?

Shes getting drops at least six times a day,but having her eyes shut is actually a good thing, as before she couldnt close them. Step by step, shes doing brilliant for saying she was at deaths door a few days ago.

Oh I misunderstood her eyes being closed then that is a very good thing. Congratulations for bringing her this far.

What type of lighting are you using? Could it be hurting her eyes? is it ever dark?

Her lighting is UVA/B and is on from 9am to about 9pm when the sun goes down. She is actually blind in one eye for definate, we are not to sure yet on the other eye,I have to feed her by hand.But i am so proud of how she is pulling herself thro this..
