The Whole Eye Thing

So the nurse and I cornered the doctor and made him tell me what's going on without any a meeting. Did he really think I was just going to sit around and wait for up to week to find out what's going on? Nuh Uh. He says the eye doctor saw some separation on her right eye that could suggest vision loss but not total blindess. He says it could have been something that was present at her birth or it could have developed over time. It's all interesting to me since B is almost blind in his right eye. The lens in his glasses for that eye are soo thick! I asked him what we would do if the MRI showed some kind problem. He said we would think about laser treatment or glasses. Can you beliiiiiiiiieve we lost sleep over this??? The doctor said it's not related to the ROP and that's still at stage 1. This is something else. If glasses are the worst thing she ends up with from being born all of 14 weeks early, well so be it. She comes from a long line of visually impaired people. :laugh:

It's funny because I've learned to trust my instincts now. For the last several weeks I have noticed when looking back at pictures that she tends to keep her right eye closed. People told me I was crazy but something kept gnawing at me to ask them to check it. Just as I was about to request that they do it, she started opening both eyes more. If you're bored, you can look at the pics I took posted in December and you will see what I'm talking about. It's only been in the past two weeks that she's started keeping that eye open more.

With that being said...please pray for baby girl. Those of you who have done MRI's know they are very umcomfortable and most babies have to be sedated to get them done. Please pray about her eyes and the fluid that still on her brain. Thankfully, that has not worsened and we don't have any bleeding.

13 weeks later and people are still praying for our girl. Thank you.
