Ophthamalogist

Micah's first ophthamology appointment was today, and he did really good.  Of course the squirming and flailing was normal; this poor guy has never had his eyes dilated before!  While we were waiting for the drops to take effect, he, Annie and I had a lot of fun singing songs and dancing in the room (thank goodness it was big!)  20 minutes of preschool type activity was much needed.

We were happy with Dr. Rimmer, a pediatric specialist.  He was very nice and friendly to Micah and come to find out his grandfather is from Ukraine's big neighbor, Russia!  So we had a good chat about that :)

Prognosis: Strabismus and far-sightedness, a.k.a he needs glasses morning to night.  Neither were unexpected, and now we get to plan a day to go to Riverside to pick out his specialty glasses.  If the glasses don't help the cross in his eyes, then he'll wear a patch on the strong eye.  If that still doesn't work, then he'll have to have surgery.  The eye doctor seemed confident we wouldn't have to go that far since the strabismus is minor. 

Next: picture of Micah in glasses! :)
