Today Kayla had an appointment with Dr. Lee, her ophthalmologist. She has follow-up appointments every 2 months right now.
At first, Kayla was very shy for the guy nurse. He must get that a lot, so he went and got a woman nurse. :) Kayla did a lot better for her. Normally, Kayla looks at the letters on a screen and then points to what letter it is on a little card that she is holding, but today, she actually said the letter! Wow. That was great. She did everything she was asked to (well, I did mention to her that we could get some ice cream afterwards if she cooperated).
Dr. Lee then came in and examined her eyes. She decided not to dilate her eyes today, but wait until her next appointment in two months. Kayla's right eye has remained very stable at 20/30. That is great and Dr. Lee was very pleased with that. Her left eye is the same, too. Dr. Lee was 2 to 3 feet away from Kayla and waved her hand. She told Kayla to wave her hand whenever she saw her hand waving. Kayla did great and saw all of the hand waving, but that is about the extent of the vision in her left eye.
I am unable to notice that Kayla can only see out of one eye. She does great compensating for it. She knows and writes her letters very well and has no problem coloring, or looking at books. I am super grateful for that!
