Eye Surgery

Eye Surgery . . . If we ever get there.

Misses was diagnosed with Strabismus alittle less than two years ago. Since the initial call to the pediatrician, we were referred to an eye Dr. who has monitored her progress and educated us on her condition.
"Strabismus is a visual problem in which the eyes are not aligned properly and point in different directions. One eye may look straight ahead, while the other eye turns inward, outward, upward, or downward. The eye turn may be consistent, or it may come and go. Which eye is straight (and which is misaligned) may switch or alternate." geteyesmart.com
Initially we had her surgery scheduled for Dec. 2011, but last Fall and Winter we were plagued with ear infections and colds. When we went for her pre-op. appointment, she had a fever so the surgery was cancelled. Now, the surgery has been rescheduled for this Thursday. All went well during the pre-op appointment, but today she was tired after school. She is never tired, at least not enough to admit it to me. I took her temperature and it was low at 100.5. I will call them tomorrow, but I am not sure it we will get to keep the appointment. I'm starting to think maybe this isn't suppose to happen right now.
The surgery was CANCELLED. Misses has Strep. So the surgery was rescheduled, yet again for March 1st.
