Owen Gandy: 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.
