I've just come back from the hospital. A few months ago i noticed my daughters eye kept wandering into the corner, so i though maybe she had a lazy eye. Both me and her father had squints as children and had to have operations. Well i was told today that marissa will need her eye operated on. They are hoping to operate in July, she will have just turned 2 
Her eye is really bad apparently, she is having real problems seeing out of it. Which is what i thought as she is always walking into things, but only on one side. As if she can't judge the distance correctly. The consultant said he thinks he can restore 80% of her sight with the operation. Maybe needing glasses afterwards, but glasses wont help without the operation.
She will be in and out of the hospital the same day. I just can't imagine it, she is only a baby, well to me she is anyways. The consultant says she has possibly had it from before she was 6 mths old, but has got worse recently. When i initially went to see the doctor about it he wasn't even gonna send me to the hospital, i had to push for it. He said he would correct itself, just shows how much he knows. I wish i had been wrong though. | |
