She's using a mixture of sand and coconut fibre. Due to health reasons, she hasn't been around much this year. I suggested to her to mix the vitamin A in with honey.

Salt water won't do much if the infection originates within the eye itself. Carrie said Arwen is at best staying the same, if not worsening. She can tell Arwen is slowly losing her sight.
