Jean in Newcastle Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) I have so much to do to get ready for school, it's not funny. One of the things we were finishing up with was some medical appointments. Today we had routine eye exams - or so I thought. Our eye doctor (who happens to be my SIL) called me to the back and told me that she saw some kind of a lesion that she can't identify on dd's eye. She said that it was hemorrhaging too. She wanted me to get her into a retinal specialist ASAP. She said that she's never seen anything remotely like this in someone dd's age. The only time she's seen something similar is in an adult having a stroke. We have an appointment with the retinal specialist at 8:30 in the morning. I'm canceling our dental appointments that we were supposed to have. She did say that is a possibility that dd has taxoplasmosis but while we do have a cat, dd has never handled the litter. Update on this thread. Edited September 5, 2012 by Jean in Newcastle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vettechmomof2 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 praying and just a heads up on the toxoplasmosis. She could just as easily get it from eating contaminated food or digging in the dirt. http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/toxoplasmosis/epi.html Hopefully the info helps! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: You know, sometimes the issue with the cats is that some litter gets stuck in their paws, and when the cat is carried or picked up, contact occured.

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 We just remembered that dd did catsit for a neighbor last month where she was taking care of the litter box. But of course, we don't even know if whatever is going on is related to cats or taxoplasmosis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadianmumof5 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Eye stuff is always scary. I had a bilateral spontaneous retinal detachment at age 28 that went undiagnosed for weeks - the doctors just never expected to find it in someone my age with no head injury. Glad your SIL caught it & that you are going in bright & early tomorrow morning. Will pray for your DD.:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
