I feel excited to be able to blog about something other than Aaron's illness, even if it is about other children with doctor visits.
Josh, Christopher and Sarah had appointments with Dr. McManaway today.
Sarah was being seen as a follow-up for the corneal abrasion Christopher gave her in June. She is back to normal. He did a complete exam, and does not need glasses. She does not need to go back unless she gets gouged in the eye again:)
Christopher had his annual eye exam. He did well. There has been no change in his vision, not better, but not worse. The nystagmus, however, is gone! He had developed that before he was 1yo, and it is finally resolved.
Josh had a follow-up for his PHPV and aphakic glaucoma. His IOP was stable. He will continue to use his two eye drops for glaucoma. His vision is stable, no changes in his contact lens or glasses prescription. He will continue to patch his left eye two hours each day.
But his right eye is beginning to drift in and up again. We go back in three months for Dr. M to have a look at it again. Somewhere along the line he will probably need another surgery to straighten it, but not yet. (I am not eager to go through another child having anesthesia, so I am happy Dr. M wants to wait a while.)
Trips to Hershey really take a huge bite out of my day, but it is so worth it to have the peace of mind that my children are getting the best care available.
