Todays photo

Liam had an appointment at the super clinic for his 6 monthly eye test. His eye is still a bit lazy in that it wont focus on things as they get closer to his face, but as far as his sight goes its great so he has been discharged now. So now I only have to go up every 6 months for Stevens hearing test which is on the 22nd of this month. So i thought i would carry the cmera around with me just in case i wanted to snap a photo of something while im out. So I got a photo of the superclinic building and Liam in the back seat of the car, worried because every time we go they patch his eye again for testing the sight in each eye and he really hates the patching. I dont blame him really for a year he had to have his good eye patched for 4 hours per day to get the bad eye working, but all the effort paid of and his he has great vision in his eye again as before the patching he could hardly see a metre infront of him. I was quite shocked and felt really bad as for a few months before the eye testing they do at kindy he said his eyes were sick and i didnt believe him and thought he was just trying to get some pamol(he loves pamol and most nights he has a sore leg or sore something but it was always at bed time). So sure enough he really did have a sick eye and i felt soo bad for not thinking about his sight.

like the shot in the rearview mirror of Liam. As for his comments at the sick eyes don't beat yourself up. It was picked up, he got treatment and he has now been discharged. Focus on what has happened as a result not what could have happened if it hadn't. I just read what i wrote and my comment isn't meant to be bitchy just reassuring.

Eyes, now done and dusted ... you followed through on it and your young man is now better off for it - truly!!!! I'm like Janine, don't beat yourself up.

And I too am commenting on that first pic ... what an amazing pic.

Absolutely agree with the others, please don't beat yourself up. You weren't to know; it's hard to know these things in young kids as they can't always express it. And they are often not symptomatic until they are at school and learning to read, etc. But the great thing is that it has been addressed and he is doing well now - that's awesome!
