Patching

We had an ophthalmology appointment for you on Monday.  Your follow-up was supposed to be in December, but I called to make it earlier.  Although you LOVE your glasses and really have no issues keeping them on, your eye still turns in and you still tilt your head to the left when you are looking at things.  So at this appointment she suggested patching your good eye.  This will you use your left (weaker) eye and hopefully strengthen the muscles so you begin to use both of your eyes equally.

Today was the first day we started patching.  You did not like it.  You screamed and squirmed when we put the patch on.  Then your left eye went extremely cross-eyed because you were working so hard to see!  After a while you began to calm down, but you can see you really didn't like it!  You pulled your glasses off in an attempt to get the eye patch off.  Poor little buddy.  It makes Mommy sad to see you react like this!

I absolutely love this shirt for you! 

**UPDATE** 12/8/14 - You don't mind us putting on the patch anymore.  You've gotten used to it and are calm when we stick it on.  You do tug at your glasses more with the patch on, but not as much as that first day.  Sometimes your glasses will slingshot across the room because of the elastic strap when you pull at them!  Your eye still crosses more with the patch on.  And poor baby you bump into things walking and crawling because you can't see that side of your body.  You've gotten more bruises because of this patching!
