Eye Patch

We found out this morning that the doctor is patching Molly's GOOD eye....to try to strengthen her not so good one. She is supposed to be patched as much as possible and we are going back in 3 weeks. Molly is also being referred to a pediatric eye specialist from Madison. Her good eye is 20/50....and her bad is 20/200! That is CRAZY! She is not seeing out of that eye at all. It isn't a lazy eye or cross-eyed YET....but she is not using it at all!!! 

Below is the CUTEST little girl ever to wear an eye patch!!! We tried the one kind of the patches tonight for an hour as Molly said she wanted to. After about 30 seconds she was crying because she said she couldn't see! She said "I need TWO EYES to see! I want it off!" (If she only realized she was only really using one eye). We couldn't get her to keep her glasses on with the patch. We'll see what the next few days bring. I got a book from the library about a little girl who has to wear a patch. We are going to read it before bed. Thanks for all the thoughts and well wishes. I think I'm going to need them tomorrow!

P.S. The only reason she was smiling in this picture is because Daddy was TICKLING her!!!!

**You can still see that her one eye is dilated dilated yet too!
