Katelynn

After Four and a half years of seeing a doctor and lots of surgeries for her eyes, I felt something needed to change. I kept having a feeling come to mind to change doctors. I was in Walmart a while ago and saw a fill in doctor and she was telling me about what she does as a peds eye doc. I strongly felt she would be the one to help katelynn and get things going in a positive way. Rob and I took her to see this lady TWO WEEKS ago. At that time we were told her left eye with the help of glasses was seeing 20/20 and the right was pretty much legally blind 2170 and 2200 is blind. She wanted to stop the patching and the dilation drops and do a new technique of physical therapy on the eyes. She had Rob and I try on the glasses we would use on Katelynn so we would see what she would be going through. They were pretty cool. One lens green the other red and you can only see through the green. She sent us home with some games to play as "homework" for the eyes. Katelynn loves doing them and Rob is WONDERFUL at making sure she does them every night. To say the least we had another appointment with her today........ Our prayers have been answered and we are on the right track. The doctor was amazed at the results and had to have them doubled checked. She said in all her years of practice she had NEVER seen such an improvement in such a short period of time. She now sees in the right eye (the bad one) 2050. And her eye is not turning in as much meaning the muscles are becoming stronger. She sent home new homework and we go back in another two weeks. Technology and faith go a long way!!
