2nd specialist appt re: eye
We had Aidan's 2nd appt this morning with the eye specialist. We had to put atropine drops in his eyes for the last two days for them to be able to test his eyes for a glasses prescription. Well, his eyes are good. Normally a GREAT thing but not so much in his case. The Dr would have liked his vision to be bad b/c this means the glasses would almost certainly correct the turning in. Unfortunately, in Aidan's case, there is a 99.9% chance that he will need the surgery.
Next steps are to wait to hear from the Dr (by Thurs) about glasses. We were told today that they will always try the glasses first. He will wear them for 6wks and then we will go back to reevaluate. Most likely we will then have to schedule his surgery. She wanted to prepare us for this. I did find out that it is outpatient which is good - at least he'll come home the same day. I'm nervous about his needing to go under anethesia but his Dr really is the best in this field so I feel a sense of relief there.
I guess that is all I can tell you for now - ty for reading!
