My little Kaiya versus the Pediatric Opthomologist

I tell you... for a almost 2 year old - this little pixie has some serious fight in her. We had been noticing for the past few months that something was going on with Kaiya's eyes, not to mention, she has been increasingly clumsy. So, we took her down to Children's Hospital today to meet with a Pediactric Opthomologist. Let's just say it was ugly. Poor Kaiya was scared too death, they put dialating eye drops in her eyes, which burn, and she was set off. While they were doing an extensive eye exam (30 minutes, after bing there for 90 minutes!!!) she kinda lost it and screamed until she threw up, twice :( I have never seen her so agitated. And to make matters worse, the doctor kept saying she was more out of control then any patient he had ever seen.... that made me feel A LOT better :( SO......

We found out that she has "an extremely bad vision problem". SHe is grossly nearsighted in one eye and sort of farsighted in the other eye. Her consition casues her to not be able to focus on things, causing her eyes to wander seperatly and cross together. She has to wear glasses starting immediately and has to have them on at all times unless she is sleeping. If they dont work in two months, she will have to have surgery, because eventually her condition can couse blindness.

You can kinda see it in the picture above, her eyes slightly cross in and when she is tired or concintrating, they look even worse.

So.... my little gal is gonna look like a college professor:) I think she will look adorable. I only worry about the fight to keep the glasses on her head!!!!!!
