So for the past few days since we got home from the cruise I noticed that Brody was crossing his eyes. At first, I did not think anything of it, I played it off as oh he just figured out how to do that so I'll just tell him to stop and he will. But then he did not stop. My mom also informed me that he was doing the same thing (crossing his eyes) while he was staying with her when we were on our cruise. I called the nurse and asked if I should be concerned and she said it would be good to just bring him in. So we went to the doctor's today, and within 2 seconds of walking in the door she told me it was not good. He either has a muscle problem in one of his eyes or he is extremely farsighted and cannot compensate anymore so he is just focusing with one eye. Either way, they are not good. He will either have to get surgery or wear glasses. I guess there has been signs but I never really thought anything of it, until now. He has to hold books extremely close in order to look at them and if he ever pays attention to the tv he will actually walk up to it and put his face about 3 inches away and watch from there. I feel like I am overreacting but just the thought of my sweet baby having to go through surgery horrifies me! You all know as mothers you just want your child to be happy and healthy and I feel like this is going to be such a big thing to overcome you know. So I would greatly appreciate prayers for Brody. We will be going to a Children Ophthalmologist next week to get a final diagnosis and instructions on where to proceed from here. You can see in this picture how they cross.
