Here we go

This blog is mainly for family to know what is going on with our lives and hopefully get some fun little adventures recorded somewhere. So here we go:

     Just yesterday Weston and I finally saw the ophthalmologist for Oliver's eyes. We had noticed that his right eye is a lazy eye. Every now and then it seems to try to focus but just moves toward the middle. When Oliver and I went to one of his routine appointments with his pediatrician they gave us a referral for CHOP. We had set an appointment about three months ago and what seemed like forever finally came...yesterday.
    When we got there Oliver loved the fun toys they had at the waiting room, especially the one with a driver's wheel with a bunch of fun little buttons and knobs to move around. When they called us in to see the doctor we had to pry him of the wheel. It was really quite cute. He loves his cars! When we got into our little room they did a bunch of little tests on him and he was GREAT! He just let the doctors do their thang and in some parts he wanted them to do it again so he could see through the cool gadgets. However, whenever there was a waiting time he would say, "Cars! Driving outside" and when we told him " just a little bit longer" he would pout! ^_^ Oh boy he makes me happy! It's just amazing to think back and see how much he has grown and to see him try to express his thoughts and feelings in a way, for the most part, that I can understand!
     At the end of all the prodding and fun gadgets and make believe space expeditions to the moon this is what Oliver's doctor came up with. Diagnosis: optic nerve hyperplasia as the underlying cause and the doctor is treating the accomodative esotropia and something else that I can't seem to remember. Treatment for the time being is eyeglasses. His doctor didn't think it would be to effective considering it would be a two year old wearing it but Oliver has been great. He picked it out, we gave the options and he picked which one he wanted, "all by himself".  I hope he won't need glasses forever but it won't be the worst thing that could happen to him plus he sure is super duper cute with it on.

Look at him rock these glasses...this kid is AWESOME!
