Avery 9 weeks 2 days

Avery had her eye exam today - so the verdict is that she has a visual maturation delay - or thats what they are calling it. she does track, but shows some visual inattentiveness - and the eye that keeps getting crossed and wandering. This may be related to her prematurity - and may reslove by itself, but it may not. So for now we are really in a wait and see pattern. Usually by 4 months old these issues resolve (and for her thats 4 months from her due date - so Feburary 3rd) If the crossed-wondering eye dosent resolve she will need corrective surgery - which quite honestly is not that big a deal. And if her visual skills are not matured by that point they will most likley move toward a neurological work up. We are meeting with a neuro-opthomologist in a few weeks. It is so completly worrysome for us - we have been through so much already and the thought that something may be wrong with our new baby girl is a very tough pill to swallow. So for now we wait and wait and wait.
