Headaches and flashing lights

Emmalee is complaining of headaches. Yesterday she told Carolyn that she often sees flashing lights. She likes them because they're pretty.

We had taken her to the eye doctor and she needs glasses. We took her to the eye doctor because of her headaches. She had complained of headaches and they seemed worse after reading or playing on the computer.

We were hoping to push the eyeglasses into 2007, just for insurance reasons. But I don't want my girl to suffer.

However, the flashing lights complaint doesn't sound like an eyeglasses problem, it sounds like migraines.

The doctor confirmed that children can and often do have migraines.
