Kayla had another eye appointment come up with Dr. Lee. We were actually leaving to go to southeastern Idaho that day for our annual tradition to visit Bryson's parents and any other family that can make it. Instead of backtracking, we thought we'd just stop on our way out of town. So, we got the whole family packed up and loaded in the car and made it over to Boise by 9:15AM. . .well, we were a few minutes late. Bryson stayed outside with the rest of the kids for most of the time while I was inside with Kayla.
Kayla did great with all of her eyesight testing. When her left eye was tested, Dr. Lee let her move her head all around to where she was able to see anything. She really tilted her head to the side and down, like she could see a little out of the peripheral range of her eye. I was surprised when she actually read some of the letters on the computer screen way out in front! The letters were as large as they could be on the screen, but hey, she could see them! Well, I guess that wasn't anything too spectacular, because her vision in the left eye was still the same: 20/2500. Still, I thought it was neat. Her right eye tested 20/30. It tests back and forth between 20/20 and 20/30, which is normal.
Kayla also got her eyes dilated on this visit. Of course, when all the fam is there and we are in a hurry to get going out of town. It ended up being our longest visit ever. Ugh. After Dr. Lee checked her dilated eyes, we were good to go. Her optic nerves were still pretty pale, the left more so than the right. I asked Dr. Lee if the color would ever come back, but she said no, and that it was caused by the tumor and chemo.
And so, we were done and in the car on our way to Pa and Grammy's!
