I am so happy that I found this site! I need to vent. My daughter’s pediatrician first noticed a crossed eye at her 9 month check up. But, she only saw it once and thought maybe it was pseudo strabismus. Of course then I started to notice it more and more-then at her 12 monthContinue reading “Our first Eye appointment- Eek!”

Update on Zoe
I was looking at a picture of Zoe that we took Monday evening, and I think it was the first time I really internalized just how straight her eyes are now. And I felt the need to share. To say I’m relieved and pleased would be such an understatement as borders on ridiculous. JustContinue reading “Update on Zoe”

As I’ve said, Teagan had eye surgery a week & a half ago. As I walked away from my daughter to go to the waiting room (one ofContinue reading “Greatful for Glasses…”
Why Can’t We All Just Get ALONG???!
Many moons ago, (or so it seems!) in September of 2007, I had an appointment for my son Braden to get his eyes checked. Although my pediatrician insisted that Braden’s eyes were NOT turning, my gut told me differently. I made an appointment with an eye doctor on my own. Sure enough, Braden’s eyes didContinue reading “Why Can’t We All Just Get ALONG???!”
