I want to say congrats to Jiggy and his family. Hope their son will grow up healthy.
Giguere's Son Undergoes Successful Eye Surgery
Maxime Giguere, the infant son of Ducks goalie J.S. Giguere and his wife, Kristen, underwent surgery to correct a deformed right eye Tuesday at UCLA’s Jules Stein Eye Institute, one of the few centers in the world that provide this type of surgery.
The two-hour reconstructive eye surgery performed from the inside out was done to correct a condition called persistent fetal vasculature syndrome - a tiny, deformed eye.
“The surgery went extremely well and early signs are hopeful for a positive outcome,” said Dr. Steven Schwartz, associate professor of ophthalmology and chief of the Jules Stein Eye Institute’s Retina Division, and the lead surgeon on the medical team.http://anaheimducks.com/press/release/topstory.php?dir=200604&id=1749 (http://anaheimducks.com/press/release/topstory.php?dir=200604&id=1749)
