Emmy's Opthamologist Appointment...
Emmalyn had her 2nd Opthamologist appointment on Tuesday the 9th of February. The appointmant was to examine and re-evaluate the condition of her Optic Nerve.
This new Ophthalmologist was very nice and sincere through out the whole appointment. She made us very feel very comfortable and at peace. She thought that little Emmy was so adorable and funny because she would not stop “talking” and was making silly sounds; Emmy was in a great mood!
The Opthamologist started Emmy's evaluation and was very pleased and excited on how well Emmy’s eyes are performing. She turned off the light in the exam room and used a small pen light to see how well Emmy would follow it. We were all very excited! She started following the little light and she thought it was funny :] The Opthamologist continued her evaluation and Emmy did a great job! She had her tough times, but the Opthamologist thought “for the sight that Emmy has she did great”. Then it came time for the exam part of the appointment and we started to get a little nervous.
At this point Emmy was almost asleep in her Daddy’s arms, so the Opthamologist went ahead and put drops in her eyes to dilate her pupils to further examine the nerves inside her eyes. It took about 20 minutes for her eyes to fully dilate then the Opthamologist came back to start her inner eye exam. After the Opthamologist finished her exam she told us that the optic nerves in her eyes were pink and healthy! She stated that the nerves were about one half the size or a little less than regular nerves of a child her age, but that they were very healthy! (We were very excited!).But, we still will not know what she can see until she is old enough to tell us. Over all the appointment went very well, she’s healthy and growing great.
Emmalyn is so full of life! She is so eager to learn and do new things, trying her hardest at everything she does. We are very blessed to have Emmy in our lives and as parents we will continue to care and support her through this trial in her life.
