Please pray for my little Sarah
Things have been interesting for Sarah these days. She is much more hyperactive than usual (and than I would like) and is doing a LOT of throwing of objects....how to channel this energy....its a quandry???
Today she saw the eye Doctor. Sandor and I requested this appointment seeing a lot more crossing than usual. And we were right on (no applause please this is our job as parents to be observant) the crossing has become worse AND the Dr. was also able to nail down another technique Sarah is using to improve her functional vision. Those of you who are around her often may have noticed that she frequently tips her head up. When she does this her eyes are higher than what she wants to look at and when she looks down at it she has better control with her muscles and is able to look at things straight. Interesting....on so many levels....I find it fascinating that she would develop this method of correcting a problem...and its good to know so that we can help her. The Dr. also pointed out that Sarah will need surgery to correct the crossing (and this had been discussed earlier with her previous Dr.) but just not yet. The trouble is this surgery is not all that successful with kids having to have it more than once in many cases......
For now we are patching. Alternating eyes each day. We will see how it goes and are hopeful we won't have to splint her arms to keep her from peeling the patches off. Time will tell.
So please pray for my little Sarah. That she would be compliant with the patching and that it would yield good results. And for that hyperactivity....that she would slow down and that her mother would not progress further down the road to insanity (just kidding about that part!)
Thanks!!
