oy vey...another eye doctor appointment. but at least the news at each one is getting better and the concern for her vision drops a little. today we saw dr. g who was the first doctor to realize that her eyelids were flipping and suggested the pressure patch which ultimately saved annabel from surgery. its funny at children's hospital because when we make a follow up appointment we make it with the office and not with a particular doctor. for that reason we have seen five different eye doctors in our eight visits. dr. c was our favorite probably because she was a resident that we actually saw every day for five straight days. bottom line though, their system may be wack but it saved our baby's eye so i guess it works. as for today's visit, the scratch is not really a concern anymore but there is still a little bit of "haziness." the steroid drops that she's on should be clearing that up but it takes a while. dr. g said that we want it to clear up because if it stays too long and makes it harder for her to see out of her left eye, then she will start "favoring" her right. then we would end up having to patch her right eye to force her to use her left and then we're right back to having a robocop baby with a patch. today's visit was good but we've still got a follow up appointment (or ten) before they tell us we're in the clear. it could be worse though. we count
our blessings daily and thank god for the baby that he gave us. because it could be worse...this photo here was taken on saturday, september 19 at our second eye doctor appointment when dr. g and dr. c noticed the entropion for the first time. i love the photo because it truly shows a mother's love for her baby...
