It's been, as the title says, crazy around here. My mom has come for a visit, and I had jury duty at the beginning of the week. I still don't have a lot of time, but wanted to get SOME pictures uploaded. I haven't been able to take many pictures of Alex because we had to dilate her eyes, and the flash could have damaged her eyes. We couldn't take her out in the sun because it would have damaged her eyes, and it was tough getting her into the office because she kept taking off the sunglasses I bought her, and she was so MAD at me for covering her eyes with my hands. However, the eye doctor could find nothing wrong with the nerve behind the eye and everything looks good from that end. Now, Alex may still develop a lazy eye (and based upon the fact that my mom and I both had that issue as children, I believe it a strong possibility). However, if she does, then it can be corrected with surgery. The Nystagmus she can learn to live with and her brain will compensate for the movement. She may be a tad more farsighted than we first thought. I guess the question now is, do we take her to a neurologist or not? I'm going to discuss that one with her doctor(s).
