Patton has now gained a total of 14lbs. and should be released from the hospital soon!! Dr. Angel retested his bloodwork and the results were good and he is no longer needing IV fluids. He is keeping a good appetite and making progress each day. The bad news: Patton will have to have both of his eyes removed rendering him completely blind. After much thought and consideration in the matter, EBRN decided that after having fought so hard to bring him back to from the brink of death, the only option was to continue saving his life despite the fact that saving his sight was not an option. EBRN considered the fact that being blind may not be a great quality of life for Patton, but based on the severity of his eyes, he was pretty much blind already due to lack of nutrition. He eyes basically collapsed in the sockets. Please continue to keep Patton in your thoughts and prayers as he continues to fight to get back to a healthy state. Patton has been in the care of Dr. Angel for going on 2 weeks now.
