more than 1 year later, we finally have a surgery date! November 1st. Only 2 weeks left to psych myself up for this. Liam seems fine with the idea (this will be his 3rd surgery, so he feels like a pro) once we explained that the Dr. would NOT be taking his eye out!!

I’m an ophthalmic technician and used to work in peds for several years. It’s good that you’re trying the glasses route first, but honestly the surgery is fairly easy as far as surgeries go, and the kids usually bounce back really quickly! Hope it all goes well for you. I do think it’s odd that [...]

So a doctor that has never met Liam, only reviewed his file, has sent us a prescription for new glasses in the mail. HAROUMPH! Not sure how I feel about that! Me thinks I need to get on the phone with them Monday morning.

I need to find a friend of mine who isn’t on the site and see if she knows anything about this. I can’t remember what her daughter’s diagnosis was so I will check with her!

and now we wait again. He had the testing today to see if his prescription needs to be changed. One lens is off by .5 diopes (sp?) and the Dr will review all the results on monday to decide if we try a new prescription for 3 months or move right on to surgery.

We just got the date for the next round of testing… a 2 hour appointment in November.
