Preston Eye Check-Up

Preston went to the eye doctor at Children's yesterday and he got a really good report. After waiting 2 hours to see the doctor (yes, I waited that long!) and Preston throwing up in the doctor's office after his exam......his left eye (with the displaced pupil) sees as well as the normal right eye! That is great news. The doctor kept saying how surprised he was that Preston is seeing so well out of it and that it is perfect vision. Basically, so far his displaced pupil is a cosmetic thing and he wouldn't recommend surgery because "why mess with his eye when it's perfect" (it may be an issue later if Preston gets teased a lot). We still have to go back in 6 months for another check-up and probably every 6 months until he is 6 years old or so (I hope the next wait isn't as long!). They want to keep monitoring his vision in case he needs any intervention. We are so glad he is still seeing so well and hope he continues to be fine. Below is a picture of Preston up close so you can see what his displaced pupil looks like in his left eye. Interesting, huh? I have never heard of such a thing.


Here is a video from a couple weeks ago of Preston jumping in his crib. It's pretty cute to see him play in his crib. I sometimes peek through his door enough to watch him, but not enough so that he sees me and he does some funny things like jump holding onto the railing then plop down and giggle, then pull himself back up and smile away. Funny boy.
