Post-Doctor Visit

My son had a check-up two weeks ago. The good news is that his vision is perfect. The not-so-good news is that the doctor felt his eyelid was "decomposing" (his words, not mine) thus drooping into his line of vision. The lid is just outside his axis of vision, but if it falls anymore, then it will begin to effect his vision. The doctor considered making us start patching his good eye again, but decided not to proceed with that (thank goodness). He told us to expect another surgery sooner than later. He wants to see our son again in 3 months to closely monitor any further decomposing of the lid. We see him again in May, and I'll provide an update then, if not before.

  1. I just started following your blog, and wanted to just comment really quickly. One of our twin boys also has Congenital Ptosis, and I came across your blog just doing some research online. He is only three months old, but his doctor has been really good about continually monitoring his eye and his progress. It is inspiring to read your family's story. My husband and I had never heard of Ptosis until our boys were born, and your blog has been very helpful to us. I will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers; I hope your son's next visit goes well.
