Jason's biopsy results came back showing no evidence of lymphoma or sarcoidosis. Whoo-Hoo!!! What they have diagnosed him with is an orbital pseudotumor. They said that he has had some chronic inflammation in the eye which has fibrosed and is now afffecting the eye muscles. We don't know why there is inflammation in the first place but they are going to try a month long course of steroids and see if there is any improvement. It is unlikely that there will be but we are going to try it first and then go on to eye surgery if need be.
Jason has been referred to yet another specialist for the surgery. We hope that when we meet with him we get the same story. As you can imagine, we are very happy that the origin of Jason's problem isn't anything very scary and now we just want him to get back to seeing with both eyes! Stay tuned for more Hansen family oddities :)

Yeah! That is great news. Hope the month of steroids goes quickly and you're onto a fix soon.
So nice to have the written word.
I'm just glad to see you posting again ... I was starting to get worried about you!! Not like I'm one to talk - I'm a serious blog slacker ;) Happy to know you've got some more concrete info on Jason's eye. I'll be looking for more info in the future - you can imagine how interesting things like this are to my hubby ... he'd love to take a peek, I'm sure :)
Hang in there, Jason!
Yeah for good news! Love the Johnsons
Phew - good news for the Hansens! It's so yucky when the anomalies creep into our lives. I'm glad this one can be fixed and it's isolated to boot! Hope your baby-growing is going well, that Kate's feeling spry and that Jackson and Ava are smiling -- I love their pictures on the blog. Jolly little group the two of you have! Love, Sara
