Optometry - April, 17th, 2014

Hey, been awhile, sorry. Not much has been happening. Owen is growing, eating, sleeping and smiling... And crying.  :).  He is 11lbs 14oz. He has more then doubled his weight since he has been home. He has started to sleep through the night, still on oxygen at night. We go back to his pediatriction in 2 weeks and next week we go back to high risk doctor, who was the neonatologist that took care of him while he was in the hospital. 

This morning we went to see the pediatric opthamologist. He tested his eyes and also looked in them to see how they reacted with a light through different lenses. He determined that Owen is very near sighted (cannot see well far away), For this he will need glasses. He also said he had stigmatism's which means that his eyes are shaped like a football instead of a basketball. We knew after his eye surgery that he had lost some perifrial vision, now he is going to have more issues to deal with, but we will be able to mange it.

Please pray for his patience transitioning to glasses and for them to help him see better.

Super baby!

Super tired..

The fight for the pillow continues

Birthday boy!!

2 months...7 months.. 

Just sitting up!

Do these glasses make me look smart?

Growing Boy - April 1, 2014

I can't believe it is April already. We had another visit to the pediatrician yesterday and everything is going so well that we don't have an appointment for 4 weeks!! we will go in weekly for weight checks but that is it. The doctor wants to continue Owen with the rice cereal twice a day and oxygen at night. we don't have to use the monitors in the daytime unless he is sleeping. it is so nice to be able to pick him up and carry him to another room with out worrying about chords and monitors!  He is doing good with the cereal....when he wants to, sometimes he is just not that interested in it, that is his personality though.

we starting putting him in his Jumper and Bumbo. He will only sit in it for a couple of minutes, but is getting stronger and stronger each time.

This month we see the Pediatric Ophthalmologist and High Risk Doctor (NICU Doctor)
