Eye Appointment...

So, not quite the news we were hoping for... Walker had his eye appointment with a pediatric specialist in Greenville on Wednesday. The good news is that Walker's eyes are developing as they should and all of the parts are connected and working as they should be (Thank goodness! That thought had never even crossed my mind!) However, as we suspected, he has some weak muscles in his left eye. As it turns out, he is also pretty farsighted in the same eye. More so than the dr. would like to see at this point. He said that we were probably just at the "tip of the iceberg" and to expect to see the laziness progress over the next few months. We go back in September and if his prediction is right, then we will look at patching or glasses.

As a mother, obvioulsy you don't want anything to be "wrong" with your baby. I'm so thankful that it's not anything worse, and I know there are many things more terrible than eye problems, but it still hurts...

On a different note, Walker and I are headed to the beach with Nana and Papa Coach tomorrow. Nathan is paddling in West Virginia until Tuesday, so we are off for some sun and sand :) Right now, I'm working on packing "lightly" with a 7 month old. Is that even possible??? Wish me luck and I'm sure there will be TONS of pictures to follow!
