Emma's Eyes



We had another appointment with the pediatric ophthalmologist today and Emma's eyes are looking great. In fact, the doc said he was "no longer worried" and believes that Emma will NOT need surgery. There is still evidence of Stage 1 - Stage 2 Retinopathy, but her eyes have continued to improve over the last two weeks. We'll go back for another exam in about 6 weeks, just to be on the safe side, but it is a big, huge, relief.

We're going back to the Special Care Nursery tomorrow for another appointment with the lactation consultant... it will be interesting to see how much weight Emma has gained. Compared to the early days, she now seems *almost* chubby to us :)



P.S. Big thanks to the Day Hospital team at work for the lovely personalized bib and to Grandma's friends Judy and Tayler for the cute outfits! :)
