Ethan's beautiful Eyes

Rate this Entry
Ethan and Christa went to the eye doctor today. Christa's eyes are just right. This was a different doctor and he wants to be more aggressive treating Ethan's strabismus. Ethan will need to wear a patch over his left eye (the better one) for two hours everyday. I thought, "that sounds easy". But he took it off every few minutes. I told him he was a pirate and taught him to say "arrr" or something like it and he enjoyed that. Ethan is dancing to "Bippity Boppity Boo" from Cinderella right now. He loves that song and tries to say it. He calls it "bip boo". Anyway, he will go back to the eye doctor in 2 months to see how the patch is working. I was more impressed with this eye doctor. He has a child with this same problem. Not that I wish any child had strabismus but it was comforting that he knew how to handle not just the medical part the emotional part dealing with the patch. Ethan is saying more words and putting more meaning to them. When he falls or bumps is elbow, he says "hurt". He says Daddy instead of Da Da and he knows a few shapes (circle, square and star). His therapist was very surprised he knew those. That's all the news for now. Have a great week.
