Glasses
We just learned that our beautiful Em is almost blind in her left eye and probably has been since birth. The Dr. we met with has prescribed a strong lens on one side of her glasses in order to get her brain to kick in and accept images from the eye. It came as quite a shock to all of us that know her well and at first it was a little hard to even believe.
Emma was not real thrilled (who really would be?) at first and is slowly getting use to having the glasses on. We go back to the Dr in mid- dec to see if her vision has improved in the left eye and then plan for next steps. If the glasses will work the dr. says they will do so normally in the first 6 weeks. We are hoping and praying they work, and that her brain starts to accept images from her left eye. We appreciate any prayers our freinds and family can share as well.
All in all- it could be worse and are glad we learned about this now before it would have been too late to try treatments. And of course, Emma is still a beuatiful princess, even in her glasses.
