Disappointing Day ...but it could have been worse!!

Well today we had Kiersten's eye doctor appointment. We saw a pediatric specialist eye doctor up here and she concluded after many different exams, (you would be amazed at all the things they can do with a baby) that Kiersten doesn't focus with her left eye. She said she has a lazy eye and although you can't see it with the naked eye...her left eye looks in towards her right vision field instead of focusing on the object at which she is trying to look at. So her left eye seems to wonder around instead of focusing on the item. therefore she has to get baby glasses. Dr. Marossy said that with the glasses it will help her left eye focus on an item which will strengthen the ocular muscles around the eye (which control the eye ball). She wants to see her again after she has been wearing the glasses for 6 weeks. She also said that by fixing her left eye that with time she should straighten her head tilt out. If things are not fixed by 12 months of age they may look into more serious interventions, surgery being in that list. But she feels that the glasses should fix it....but no guarantees. So we will see with time.
So we have a set of glasses on order. Should be here in about 10 days. But we will be out of town, so we will get them the week that we get back from the wedding. And baby glasses are not cute. they only had 2 pairs for us to choose from... they both were round frame style... plastic type frames with shatter proof lenses. they gave me 4 colors to choose from, a translucent white type color, two different pinks, and blue. But i couldn't see the colors that were available...just new the names of the colors. I did see the clear white color and they were ugly. the girl recommended this pink color that was called something rose. So that is what we got. We will see what they really look like when we get them. Until then... I'm enjoying my baby without glasses!!!
