Landon's Eye
I thought I would tell you about Landon's eye since he always has it closed or barely open in pictures
Landon was born with ptosis, which is when the muscle in an eyelid
hasn't developed, which is why the right eye doesnt open like his left eye. We saw a pediatric eye dr. when he was 6 days old and
he said to just give it time.It has gotten better...went from never opening to being open to some degree a good chunk of the day.
So we went back this week and he didn't like
that it hasn't ever opened more than half way so he has to wear a patch
on his "good eye" like the one in the picture everyday so the "bad" eye
is forced to open at least 30-60 minutes if he wants to see. Once he has
had it open that ling fir the day, it can come off for the rest of the
day. There is a good chance that he will need eyelid surgery in the next
year to tighten the eyelid so it opens fully. This absolutely breaks my
heart. It took everything I had to not break down at that appt. I know he could
have so many worse things going on with him but it still makes me sad
for him. I just feel helpless with the situation and now we have to
switch doctors with our move. Newborn + moving + this situation = one
stressed & overwhelmed momma. :-/
Re: Landon's Eye
I need a nap. I thought this was going to be a post about the London Eye.
Hugs to Landon!

I'm sorry. It really sucks when something is wrong with your baby. No matter how fixable or mild. I couldn't imagine having to move in the midst of everything. Hang in there!
I feel like a real ass now for my comment about him winking at the camera.
aww, don't worry. FIrst of all, it does look that way! And secondly, you had no way of knowing!
Thanks, hun! I was hoping not too. Here;s hoping this works!
Ha, that's funny!
I actually thought the same thing and was thinking "lucky she got to see it. We went for my birthday and it was closed for maintenance...."
Im sorry you have to experience this. He is awefuly cute though
hopefully it isnt something that bothers him at all, and he won't remember it. Good luck with the move. I forget where you are moving to?

Poor Landon
Hopefully the patch will do its job and he can avoid surgery.
On the bright side, he could make an awesome pirate for halloween!!!
