Yay for a Good Report!

Noah was sent to an eye doctor a year ago because when you have low muscle tone, it affects vision and the muscles in the eyes too. He had an eye that would wander slightly so we went to a pediatric opthamologist in Huntsville. She was ready to put him in glasses immediately for far-sightedness, at one year old. All children are born far-sighted but it improves over the first several months following birth. But she said Noah's was worse than what is normal for a 1 year old. To be honest, we didn't like her, she was VERY unpersonable, so we went to Alabama Opthamology in B'ham to see Dr. Hein and get a second opinion. Turns out, putting Noah in glasses would have helped his vision but WORSENED his wandering eye. Dr. Hein wanted to keep on eye on it because he felt it would correct itself. Well after a year, it has. His vision is way better and the eye doesn't wander anymore. So we don't have to follow up with him for 2 years! It was great having a doctor tell us, "we'll just see ya'll in 2 years!" That was definitely a first.

I'm sure some of ya'll are probably wandering about the picture of Noah's incision and WHY it's zig-zagged so I thought I would explain... they zig zag it on each side of the head b/c the hair on the sides of our hair grows down, so the hair lays down, over the incision. If they were to have done a straight line, you would be able to see it through his hair b/c hair doesn't grow on his scar. But with a zig-zag incision, the hair covers it up! It's straight across the top of his head, because hair on the top grows forward, therefore it lays over it. Pretty neat, huh?
