Good News Minute!

Henry had a checkup for his eyes this week.  His left eye went from a 20/60 to a 20/30!!  The patch is working.  The doctor kept congratulating me and shaking my hand:  "You're preventing a blind, crossed eye in your child.  Well done."  I'm wondering if we're one of the few parents that actually followed doctor's orders.
He's been a champ about wearing his patch.  4 more months of the patch and if he's made more progress, he probably won't have to wear the patch anymore.  It looks like we've avoided surgery and I'm thrilled.

He first got glasses in March.

He had an MRI in March to make sure that is eye that was crossing was not caused by any neurological issues.  It's extremely unsettling watching your child be put under.


Slowly waking up.

Wearing a patch for one hour each day.
