Yesterday my brother called and said that the Doctors from the Mayo want to operate on Hailey. They want to try to cut or thin the inner front of the eye to make room for her growing Retina so it wont fold anymore. If it works it could prevent future retinal folds and help her vision to stay the same. It would not do anything for the fold that is already there...just to be clear. Now I just got another call from the doctors in Tucson saying they want to see Hailey and Jayden back early next week to do more tests. Here we go again.....
As much as I love seeing my cute kids in their glasses I was really excited for them to get their contacts. I am really disappointed! I just got the call that they are not going to be able to make their contacts. Their was only one company that will even make contacts in the powers that they need and the Doctor said that their eyes are just to small, that with that kind of curve and kind of power it just wont work.
When Hailey was trying the contacts on and we found that they didn't fit the Doctor had her read the eye chart. She was seeing quite a bit better just having the prescription on her eye. I was really excited about that, and now she can't get the contacts. This really stinks!
Derek plays dress-up by putting on glasses! He wants to be just like his older brother and sister.

Oh man that really stinks about the contacts.
I'm sorry you will have to go through another round of tests and possible surgery, but hopefully it will all pay off in the end.
Let me know how I can help!
I'm so glad you have this blog! Your kids are so cute... we have been praying for the doctors, so hopefully this strategy will work. We think about you tons! Amanda is leaving this Saturday, now I am all alone....

Good luck in Tucson with the upcoming Dr. appointments. I am crossing my fingers for your sweet little one's. Sorry to hear about the contacts not working out, that stinks.
FYI I called and made an appointment with Dr. O'Neil. I am anxious to see what he says about Wes' eye's... I am praying that we don't have to patch (wishful thinking, I am sure). Call me if you didn't get my message back with Lynette's number for my bro-in-law in Michigan.
