I apologize for taking so long in posting this. We had our last check-up for Eli's eyes on May 15th. The vision is still uneven in his eyes. That means more patching. He went from 2-3 hours per day last December to 4-6 hours in February and now its 8 hours per day, essentially all of his waking hours. The doctor has made it very clear that we will just continue to patch until the vision is even. He cannot get a good measurement of the muscle for surgery if they are still uneven.
The hard part is that Eli HATES his patches and can pull them off. Some days we go through 4 or 5. It tears his skin which only makes the problem of keeping them on even worse. We are praying that this is the last session of patching! Please join us in that prayer.
ON ANOTHER NOTE:
At that same visit Lily had her first eye exam. She had been squinting a lot, getting really close to the television, and having crossed eyes. Fortunately her problem is just vision not muscular so no surgery for her. Her glasses are super thick but the eye place makes kid lenses from very light polycarbonate. This way the glasses don't weigh down her face.
Here are some pictures:
