Appt. 2: Opthamologist

Yesterday we had Zachary's opthamologist appointment. It was one of those LONG appts that I am growing use to. Unfortunately, Jason isn't so use to them! We arrived at 9:10 for our 9:15 appt and didn't leave until 11:15.

Zachary was a good little boy despite missing a morning nap and mommy forgetting his snack! He had his eyes dialated and tolerated the drops very well. This Doctor was wonderful and he was voted one of the "Top Docs" of St. Louis last year. We have been really lucky with the doctors we have been seeing for him.

Anyway, they said there is not sign of a lazy eye and no need for glasses. Everything looks good. He has droopy eye lids that they can fix when he gets older if he feels the need. I have it too so we can be droopy together. He did say his optic nerves appeared "different" than most "normal" people and assumed that had to do with the NS. His geneticist will know more when he sends his report on to her and we will discuss it after all his appointments are done. 3 more to go!

On a lighter note, he is cruising along the furniture and has a bit of hesitation going from one thing to the next. He gets really scared. But I had the coffee table really close to the couch and he walked along the table and hesitated but then went for the couch. He was so proud he began squealing and clapping his hands. We are making progress!!!

We are trying to set up blood test for Jason and I and hope to have that done soon.

Well off to start the day and get ready for my nephew's wedding!

Isn't it amazing how resilient our kids seem to be about waiting... and waiting...

Great news on Z's vision and the great doctors.

Hope the next 3 go as smoothly!
