Dylan is walking now!! What a big man, before I know it they will be going in completely different directions. Caleb has got it but still looks like a little monster when he walks.
We have a doctors appointment on Monday for their checkups. First time all three are going to get shots at the same time. :(
I called the pediatric eye doctor today to find out how in the heck to keep Maggie's glasses on and the only thing she had to say was "Well maybe she just needs a little more time" REALLY? Those people are starting to tick me off, first they say that she will just wear them because she will realize that she can see better and now they are saying to get a strap and just keep at it? Hmmm, I could have figured that out and I am not a "specialist". LOL!!!
Just in case you don't know Maggie has been diagnosed with having Strabismus which is basically a technical term for having a lazy eye. The doctor prescribed her eye glasses to wear full time for 6-8 weeks to see if they help realign her eye. If that doesn't work then he said we would be looking at surgery. That appointment is not until the middle of September. So, in the mean time we are trying to get her to wear them. If anyone has any advice at all please let me know.
The boys amaze me every day, their new nanny started yesterday and Dylan took right to her. Caleb on the other hand was my shy little man that just wanted to cling to Mimi. By the time I got home everyone was happy and had acclimated well. Cindy is really wonderful with the boys and I think she is going to be amazing. So far so good!!! Hopefully we will never have another crazy nanny like the "Cleaning Lady"!!!
WalMart tonight, I am wondering what the comments will be this evening? "Are they triplets?", maybe "Oh, my gosh, how do you do it?" or one of my favorites "Are they ALL yours?" Well, whatever it is it probably won't be the first or last time I hear it. Besides, you wont find a cuter trio in there. I love my life!!!
I am assuming that the glasses are trying to strengthen the weak eye. If she will not keep the glasses on, then there are eye drops that they can put in her healthy eye that will make it blurry. This will cause her brain to strengthen the weak eye. It will still suck to give her, but it will take a few minutes and be done for hours. Just another option.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Now why wouldn't that doctors office suggest this? That really sounds like a great solution to the problem rather than suggesting a strap or simply that a child her age sometimes just takes longer to adjust to glasses. Thanks for the recommendation and I plan on calling them to figure something out.
