Emily's Eye Appointment

On Tuesday Emily had an eye appointment with Dr. Nichols. Mike and I were a little nervous about what the verdict with her eye and the patching were going to be since she seemed to be struggling with watching where she was going. We were so excited to hear Dr. Nichols say that there wasn't a preference for one eye over the other. Last time we were there, in December, she favored her right eye about 90% of the time over her left. He also told us that the depth of both eyes is the same. He did notice however that she tends to look over the top of her glasses quite a bit. He didn't know if it was because they needed to be adjusted to fit her face a little better of if her prescription has changed, but for now he said we would keep her in them and in 4 months we will go back and dilate her eyes. We also only have to patch her eye 2-3 hours a day instead of 6 hours a day which is totally better. He said we could stop patching all together but he doesn't think the eye is strong enough and he would hate to have her re-lapse and then we would be back at 6 hour patchings.

Tonight we had Preston, a co-worker of Mike's over for dinner. His wife Lori and their two boys came over too. Colin is 4 and Spencer is 4 months. Emily just loved playing with Colin. She giggled and teased, we caught a glimpse of what she will be like in the future when the interest changes. We had Hawaiian Haystacks and this yummy dessert called Layered Strawberry Cheesecake Bowl. Mike liked it and so did Emily and I.

I got my blog book for the 2008 year. I am excited that it was easy to journal that year and have a record for myself and kids.
