On to the next thing...

Luckily we had a lull for the next few months. Erik's feeding was getting under control, he has healed from his surgery, and we were on the road to seeing our little man flourish... or so we thought.

At Erik's 4 month appt. Our pediatrician made some comments about his eyes and the fact that his left eye wandered. So off to another specialist. She was great. Very direct and to the point. Our homework... patch is left eye 3 days a week for 30-45mins. So we did. 3 mornings a week. At our 3 month check up for his eyes she notice slight improvement, so keep patching. At our six month check up, she noticed a little more improvement; however she noticed the right eye starting to get lazy too. Our homework... alternate patching each eye 6 days a week for 1 hour. And we did, every morning we patched one eye for one hour except Sunday's. At his 9 month check up for his eyes she did more than just a quick check. She dialated his eyes and that's when she noticed a bigger issue... in the back of his eyes she noticed his macula's were flat, this is not good.
