Jack's Journey: November 2013
http://eyelovejack.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
A Tale of Infant Cataracts. Wednesday, November 6, 2013. Jack is a full time glasses wearer. We had a short lived attempt at contacts about a month ago, but it was just too traumatic for all of us. They're still sitting on the counter. The glasses are a non issue. He wears them happily and at this point, that's all that matters. If you're just starting your journey and have other questions about what life down the road is like, please ask! The unknown is a scary thing. Posted by Jack's Mom.

A Tale of Infant Cataracts. Tuesday, April 14, 2015. I don't want to burst your bubble.". Well, there are seven words you don't want to hear at a doctor's appointment. Bubbles burst. So at the end of the day, we still consider ourselves very lucky. Patching 2 hours a day is nothing compared to what some people have gone through, but I have a whole new appreciation for you all! Posted by Jack's Mom. April 15, 2015 at 1:57 PM. Hello, why you need to patch? How is Jacks vision aquity now? Your son Jack is a...

http://eyelovejack.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
A Tale of Infant Cataracts. Sunday, July 21, 2013. This is a couple of weeks late because I was trying to forget about the 2 and a half hour trip to the ophthalmologist. They always warn you the appointment could be up to 2 hours because of dilation, but when our appointment is at 10 and Jack wasn't dilated until 11:15.on top of the 2 month old and 3 year old.ok, clearly not over it yet! But he couldn't see us at this point and therefore, couldn't really interact. Posted by Jack's Mom. More information a...

Jack's Journey: June 2015
http://eyelovejack.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
A Tale of Infant Cataracts. Wednesday, June 3, 2015. To Jack, on your (preschool) graduation day. Dear Jack on your (preschool) graduation day,. I can already picture your 18 year old self proclaiming, “But mooooooooom. It’s just preschool – it’s not a big deal.” Then why, my sweet boy, can I not pull into the preschool parking lot during this last week of school without dissolving into a puddle of tears? You see, you and I got to this place by taking a different path. I was/am the Mama Bear of Mama Bears.

Jack's Journey: May 2013
http://eyelovejack.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
A Tale of Infant Cataracts. Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Jack is proud to announce the arrival of his new sister, Baby E! She arrived on April 30, and besides not wanting to sleep longer than 30 minutes at a time at night, we are over the moon with her arrival! We knew getting into this that there was a chance that she could have cataracts as well, and were prepared to deal with it if we had to. Key words:. If we had to. The day after we came home was our first official check-up with our pediatrician - the doc...

Jack's Journey: January 2014
http://eyelovejack.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
A Tale of Infant Cataracts. Friday, January 17, 2014. Of course, he didn't have to be dilated this time, so that certainly helped our cause. As long as his glasses are on, Jack literally has no vision issues. He can see just as well as any other 3 1/2 year old. (Without the glasses are a different story, but why would we ever take them off? His teachers have been great and hyper vigilant, and even they say that the only reason they know he has any sort of eye problems is because he wears glasses.

A Tale of Infant Cataracts. Thursday, June 26, 2014. I couldn't even begin to list the number of things we've learned since starting this journey, but the one thing that matters the most is that when Jack starts looking out of the corners of his glasses, it's time for a prescription change. He wasn't scheduled for another checkup until July, but we were able to get him in much sooner and thank goodness we did. Talk about a growth spurt! Posted by Jack's Mom. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
