The Eyes Have It

Today was our the last in our whirlwind tour of Doctorville. The girls had eye checkups today.

Natalie had a scheduled appointment for a check of the remaining eye with signs of ROP. It checked out completely mature! Now both girls have no vestiges of ROP. Yeah!!

Abby had been cleared at her last appointment, but I had some concerns about her left eye turning in towards her nose. The doctor said she looked just fine. Apparently it's a common occurrence for babies. It's actually more of an illusion due to the folds of skin around her eyes and the immature growth of her nose bridge. The doctor said she looked really great as far as her tracking and whatever else there is they look for.

We are finally getting away from the weekly doctor visits that plagued our first few months. The girls aren't due back to the eye doctor until August. Even the Duke Clinic has let us off the hook for 3 whole months! Now if we can just stay out of the pediatrician's office...
