January 9, 2012

I haven't added photos in quite awhile. So included are some recent photos of our son 2 years 4 months post-surgery. He had surgery at 14 months old and is now almost 3.5 years old. We think his eyesight is normal, and we feel his eyelid is slightly droopier than right after surgery (but it is hard to tell). He has a check-up in February and I will post after the appointment to let you know the findings. Now that he is 3.5 years old, I have begun to tell him to "please open your eye" when it is really drooping and sometimes he does intentionally open it more. So, if we are taking pictures, I do try to get him to open his left eye. His specialist did say that as he got older and was more aware of the drooping eye, that he should be able to make an effort to open it to better match the other eye. We'll see if he starts to do that more over time. He doesn't yet realize that his eyes are any different than anybody elses. We will see what age that occurs. I dread the day he notices, and just hope his personality and spirit don't let it get him down.
