Lab rat...

So today Mason and I made yet another trip to the eye doctor. Just for those of you keeping records, including picking up glasses that makes 4 trips in 1 week and on our way to making it 5 in a week and a half! Did I ever mention how much I love our eye doctor? Well, I do!! Weston's vision is fairly good, not bad enough for glasses, even with his Amblyopia. But the chance of his vision going bad are fairly good. His brain could eventually get tired of making his eye work so much and eventually quit. So he, the doctor, is taking the time to research the best way to treat this and make/keep his eye strong. We have to make another trip in on Friday so he can test some theories and therapies on him to see what could work. I am so appreciative of this. We made a trip to Riley a while back and I was not happy with the outcome. I am so happy with this doctor!!

We have been there so much that when we walked in today we didnt even have to check in and they joked about just setting us aside a permanent room. LOL Mason checked out great! He said that he was a little worried that his perscription would have changed, apparently as kids go through growth sprurts it often does that, but his didn't which is great. Then it was my turn and I became the lab rat. lol I have whats called Dwaynes Syndrome. Its where when I look right my right eye doesn't go that way, but when I look left my right eye squints to see in that direction. I often get doubled vision when I look over my right shoulder. Anyway, the girls in the office had never seen it which caused the lady to put a bunch of question marks on my chart because she didn't know what it was. So he asked me if he could bring them in and show them and explain what it was and how it caused. I was more than happy to let him do that because then I got to learn more about it too. Friday, its Westons turn to be the lab rat...LOL!

So we have one boy thats nearsighted, one with Amblyopia, one with astigmatism and me with a slight astigmatism, slight farsightness and Dwaynes Syndrome. Whew!! The Tweddell family with all our eye problems. :-) And William hasn't even been checked out yet. LOL
