My baby's brown eyes

Handsome has the best eyes. They are big and have long lashes and show emotion like no other.

But sadly there is something wrong with his perfect eyes. Feb 21st I noticed that the right eye started to turn in. He would look straight at you with the left eye, but the right eye was doing it's own thing.

We went to the pediatric opthamologist. He told us that his condition isn't severe so we should come back in three months to see if it has gotten worse and then we'll see if there is anything to do at that point. He did give a prescription for when Handsome wants to watch TV - as this is when the turning in is the most prominent. The doctor just didn't seem to be listening to me and treated me a bit like a child. He even answered his cell phone during the grand total of ten minutes that he was talking to us. (Another Dr working under him did all the examination.) I was asking him the cause of his eye turning in and sounded really annoyed that I would even ask.

Handsome's eyes just keep getting worse. Now if I'm standing on the other side of the kitchen and call his attention, his eye will turn when he looks at me. Plus I've started to notice that it's not just the right eye. Sometimes his left eye will get off at the same time. With the progression as fast as it seems, it just seems more severe than that doctor was wanting to concede.

I went ahead and bought glasses for him and I'm hoping that those help. His prescription was not too big. I was prepared for him to have not so good vision as mine sucks, but I've never had any issues with my eyes not working together. This is new.

I'm afraid this will prevent him from doing things he would want to do. Things like play soccer. If he is always required to wear glasses, I don't think it would be safe to be out there playing sports. I'm not sure if contacts would provide the same effect as glasses. I also want him to be able to drive without any problems and be able to read the chalk board in the front of the classroom.

I know this issue is minor compared to more severe problems that he could have. I really do know that. This is just the first thing that has come along to shatter his record of perfect health - minus colds.

And now it makes me worry about Baby #2. Will he be born with something that I can't fix?
