Eye Doc

Looks like Emmalee will need to wear glasses for much of the time. Not for playing in the yard, but anything where she'll need to focus near or far away very much - like reading a book or a bulletin board or watching TV. So - most of the time. We picked out some cute frames. They have all the info and I just need to call them in January when the insurance kicks in for her. It'll only be $25 then, as opposed to $160 now.

The doctor needed to dilate her eyes to make sure she wasn't missing any prescription needs since it was obvious Emmalee was having problems both near and far. Emmalee handled it all like a champ. Actually, she was quite amazing. The doctor even commented that she was doing as well as a 10 or 12 year old. She really was, too. She never misunderstood a single instruction. She was incredibly cooperative and helpful. She had no problems reading off letters or determining which prescription was better as the doctor clicked them off. I was impressed. So was the doctor. Pretty cool. She even handled the dilation very well. What a great kid.
