Kenden has an eye appointment tomorrow with Dr. Lall-Trail. I had a friend who is also an eye doc tell me that it looked like one of his eyes wanted to keep tracking inward, almost like he had a "lazy eye" or some type of strabismus, where one or both eyes will almost seem to cross when the child is looking a certain direction. In fact, Anna Nicole Smith's daughter, Dannilynn, was diagnosed with severe strabismus in one of her eyes. We are hoping it is nothing or that it is self correcting as he has gotten older, but if not, there are a few things they can do to correct it. 1) Patching his eye, 2) glasses, or 3) surgery. As you can see, we are hoping it is self correcting because if we have to do any of the other options, Kenden will not be a happy camper. BUT, on the other hand, it is better to correct it now so the weak eye doesn't get weaker and more dependent on the strong eye, if there is a problem at all.
Please say a little prayer for him tomorrow that the visit will go well and his little eyes will be fine! I will be sure to update the blog tomorrow with what the doctor decides to do!
