Update

Austin had his visit with the opthamologist this morning. His ROP has gotten worse and requires laser surgery. The doctor indicated that Austin has plus disease which can tend to rapidly progress. He is scheduled for "emergency" surgery later today (Monday) at West Penn Hospital. Gina and Austin have left for the hospital. I believe his surgery is scheduled for around 6 PM.

We are hoping that the procedure can be done with sedation through an IV oppossed to general anesthesia. The doctor initially indicated that Austin would need to be intubated for the procedure, but has agreed to attempt the procedure without general anesthesia.

Thanks for your prayers....
