Another visit with Dr. Lambert (eye doctor)

We went to see the pediatric ophthalmologist this morning for a 6-month check up on her strabismus (how her eyes don't always look in the same direction at the same time). The visit was a little disappointing in my opinion. Nothing had changed; not that I expected it to, but I thought he would give us a recommendation about surgery. He just said he needs to have a CT or MRI done so he can see exactly where her eye muscles are before he can make a recommendation. I believe Lucy is already scheduled to have another CT done within the next few months so instead of doing an extra procedure, he is just going to let the neurosurgeon know to take a specific "shot" or angle when they do the CT scan they already had planned. After that he should be able to let us know something about what type of surgery he would do on her. So that's all I know for now!
