Great News from Eye Doctor

Today Angelica returned to Dr. Blatt's office for her annual eye exam. The GREAT news is she will require no further surgery on her eyes!! YEAH!! He said her eyes are perfectly aligned. Also she needs new glasses, but her new prescription is not quite as strong her old ones. The bad news is we were hoping that all of her falling, walking off the slides, etc. was because of her vision. (That would have been the easiest to correct). We now are thinking it is just development related. All of Angelica's therapists say the same thing...she has "on" days and really "off" days. On her "off" days she falls a lot, needs reminders on how to do simple tasks (e.g. chewing her food, swallowing her milk). The main goal of her OT is to get her to be more consistent. We'll keep working on it.
