Everett's getting glasses

We went to Arkansas Children's today for Everett's eye appointment with the surgeon, and we got good news!!! We were dreading today's appointment thinking that if E was referred to a surgeon that it meant he was going to have surgery, but we're in the clear for now. Dr. L said that the measurement of his strabismus is 12-14. He said that below 12 surgery isn't neccessary and over 14 it is, so Everett is right in the middle. For now, we'll continue patching and Everett will get glasses. We'll try this for 3 months and re-evaluate to see where we're at. We are so glad that he doesn't have to have surgery right now, hopefully the glasses and patching will work and he will never need surgery. After we left Children's we went to UAMS to the optical to have him fitted for glasses. We found a really cute nicer pair and a play pair. He's SUPER cute in them!! They'll be here in 2 weeks. I'll make sure I post pictures when the glasses come it.
