The eye appointment today was a bust. I didn't know enough Chinese to help get Joshua to look at the eye chart, and he didn't/couldn't name the pictures he saw (or didn't see?) on the eye chart. And everytime the doctor shone a light in Joshua's eyes, he shut them tight :-}. So doc sent us home with a practice eye chart. And we'll practice the light in the eyes part also.
Joshua is at high risk of glaucoma where his Port Wine Stain birthmark covers the one eye. The doctor said he'll need that eye examined every 6 months for the rest of his life! He wants to sedate him at the hospital to get a good exam. :-( So the sooner we can teach Joshua how to do these exams, the better!
So we don't yet know if he's in the early stages of glaucoma in that eye. BUT he definitely is not in the middle or end stages of it :-). And that's a huge praise right there!
Joshua saw his first snowfall today, but he didn't like the flakes falling on his head ;-D.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
