mumford has eyelid agenesis, which means that his eyelids didn't form properly so he couldn't close them, and his eyes would dry out. the surgery he had transplanted mucus membrane from his mouth to form new eyelids. he also had some scar tissue removed from one eye and [cont]
received an amnion graft from a cow placenta, which was sutured onto his eye! we're hoping this will allow him to fully close his eyes once all the swelling goes down. he's probably always gonna look a little weird but we just want him to be able to see and keep his eyes healthy!
