celticdragonflyI took Jamie to his 6-week followup with the ophthalmologist today. Maggie's still sick, and IMO needs to stay at home, but ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fordprfct was kind enough to come keep an eye on her and watch Firefly with her while I took Jamie in.
He did okay in the waiting room, but then when he saw the doctor and the internal rooms I guess he recognized them and remembered the eye dilation from last time. He reacted VERY negatively and did NOT want to go any further. I had to carry him in. After a bit he relaxed and was willing to look at the sparkly lights and toys. The doctor checked his eyes and was pleased, he said Jamie's responding to the glasses just as he'd hoped, and he sees no sign of strabismus with the glasses on. We're to keep him in this prescription and come back in six months - sooner if we think he's having problems or we see his eyes crossing with the glasses on.
Since we were all the way up there, we went the extra bit of distance to the optician's and had them restraighten Jamie's glasses again. They also replaced the deteriorating nose pads. Hopefully he'll keep learning to be gentler on them.
