Just wanted to tell everyone that unfortunately after 31/2 hours of being at the lab Nolan had a very hard time and refused his test. He is having a very hard time so many things in his life are happening, we will know tomorrow when they will reschedule it for. Please just keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he is struggling right now...i will post when we get the test done, we are hoping friday will be the day, the way the nurse sounded tonight when we left. Thank you all for all your phone calls, posts, and emails as we are still going through this trial in our lives, it gives us great hope.

About Me
- Nolan
- I am a very active 11 year old who loves to play basketball, baseball, play with friends, and spending time with my family. However, I have Uveitis (Pars Planitis). Uveitis is inflammation of the Uvea which is the vascular layer of the eye sandwiched between the retina and the white of the eye (sclera). Some of the signs, symptoms and characteristics of Uveitis that I have experienced include eye redness, eye pain, light sensitivity, blurred vision, dark floating spots, floaters, and inflammation. If this is left untreated Uveitis can cause the following complications for Nolan: abnormally high pressure inside the eye (glaucoma), damage to the optic nerve, clouding of the lense (cataract), or cornea, scar tissue inside the eye, retinal problems, such as fluid within the retina, or retinal detachment, and possibly vision loss. Some of the treatments and procedures that I have already experienced include: anti-inflammatory medication/corticosteroid injections, surgery-vitrectomy/surgery to remove the jelly like material in ones eye (vitreous), laser and cryo surgery. I am now at a point of needing very speicalized care.
