Everything's Fine

 Kynlie had appointments in Bismarck yesterday afternoon, we saw Dr. Ocejo's nurse so Kynlie could get three of her follow up immunizations. She weighed 15 lb 9 oz so I'd say she's gaining weight good now! That's 1 pound in a little over a month. She had to get some blood drawn too, they did a CBC which is a complete blood count, checked her iron, and maybe a few others. All of her blood work came back normal.

Kynlie with all of her owies, there is another band aid on her arm with the blue wrap!

After her shots, she had an eye appointment. Her eye doctor said that structurally, everything in her eye looks perfect and that he is very optimistic about how good her eyes will be in the future. He said that a lot of times when they have to laser the eye as much as they did to her that she would lose a lot of the peripheral vision, but she doesn't look like she has lost any. He said that is probably on account of the Avastin injection she got. I was relieved when he didn't have to pry her eyes open to look inside of them. He said they are usually curious enough about what's going on at her age that they will keep their eyes open for him. I asked him about her eyes crossing so bad when she's tired, but her eyes were already dilated when he saw her so he couldn't tell if it was a problem or if her muscles just get weak when she's tired. He did some basic tests where he covered one eye and moved the light around, then the other and both of her eyes followed equally so she is not favoring one or the other. He said it could also be exaggerated by her young looking face, he said her eyes are wide set and the bridge of her nose is wide and flat and that can make her eyes look more crossed than they really are. She has to go back in six months to see Dr. L again and we will see Dr. S, who is a pediatric optamologist that will check her vision to see if she needs glasses.
