eye update!

Today we went to Iowa City for a one month update to see how patching is going. We weren't sure what to expect because a couple weeks ago when we did the computer eye exam she got a 1 in her left eye and a 4 in her right eye.  1 is the best and 5 is the worst.  After this I didn't have much confidence we were going to get good news today. But we did!! Her left eye is still 20/20 and her right eye is now 20/25. The best it has ever been since brain surgery is 20/30. This patching is working great and she has been such a good sport about wearing it. She has pretty patches that she tries to match to her clothes every day. We go back in another month, on May 25th, to see if there is more improvement.

After appointments we usually go to the Coral Ridge Mall for Ellie to play in the kids play area. By the end Ellie usually asks to be carried on Ryan's shoulders.  Here they are as we walk out.
