Update on Eli's Eyes

The vision in the right eye has improved but not sufficiently enough for the doctor to feel comfortable about doing the surgery. We are going to be patching him for the next 6 weeks for longer periods of time during the day. Then we will go back for another follow-up. Hopefully that will be when we schedule his surgery.

Beware of the 6-Toothed Monkey

Recently spotted in our neighborhood was a rare but beautiful 6-Toothed Monkey. His trademark look features 4 top teeth and 2 bottom teeth with his tongue hanging out. He has 2 calls currently, "Ba-Ba" and "Mom." He moves about with a skidding motion on his belly pulling himself with his hands. He enjoys eating and pulling hair. He is very friendly but will drool on you if given the opportunity. Below is a picture of this wild creature!




He readily feeds on just about anything but especially loves fresh pears, carrots, beef, chicken, and yogurt.
