Conner's eyes

It's not quite the news we wanted to hear. Conner is back to wearing his glasses and patching for 3 hours a day for a little while:( but the good news is that most likely his eye will be perfectly straight which is awesome and not always achievable even with surgery. There are also a few signs that he will actually use the left eye but right now as soon as the patch comes off he goes back to using only his right eye. We just need to keep patching and hope that we can train the brain to use both eyes together. Not quite sure how to explain it but it does not mean that he is blind in one eye. I find this very interesting and you can read a little about it HERE if you are interested. SO we have to go back AGAIN in one week to see if there is any progress with using the patch and glasses together.

We are so glad that we did get the surgery though. I remember knowing a girl in middle school with a lazy eye and everyone always gave her such a hard time. I would never ever want Conner to have to deal with that, kids are cruel enough sometimes. It would be great though if he would be able to use the eyes together but at least now it LOOKS like he is!!
