CT scan
The ENT doc just checked on Courtney. They ordered a CT scan to see about two things:
1. The swelling to the right of her right eye seems to protrude too much, so they want to confirm that it is in fact swelling and not bone. If it's bone, than some adjustments might be necessary.
2. Since the eye in that right socket seems to have restricted movement when looking up and looking right, they want to make sure that the restricted movement is due to swelling and not the plates. That would also require a surgical adjustment.
I'm thankful that they ordered the CT scan as those were two concerns that I also shared. I'm praying that it is only swelling, but know that there's a good chance that Courtney will have to undergo a 3rd surgery.
To quote the ENT doc., "We really want to hit a home run with Courtney since she's so young." I couldn't agree more.
Thanks for praying. She is getting the CT scan tonight sometime after 4:30 PM.

Just heard yesterday and wanted you to know that Julia and I will be praying for you all daily.
Mark, I know you will deflect the praise, but your response when this happened was nothing short of amazing. Our love to Courtney, and hope to be in touch when things settle down a bit.
