Cora is now in possession of the trendiest fashion: completely bendable, red-rimmed glasses. Wednesday's (three hour!) opthamologist appointment which was primarily to check for effects of Tuberous Sclerosis fortunately found no results of the disorder, but did find a partial cataract and astigmatism in her left eye. Right eye is perfect, but since it's dominating, the left is deviating. So, poor Cora also has to wear a patch for 3 hours a day to force her to use her left eye, exercising it and hopefully correctly aligning it. This afternoon we picked up the glasses at the optometrist, and she wore them throughout a play date with her friend Lucas and the evening at home. A little before bed time she pulled them off, and when I tried to put them back on, she grabbed them and threw them on the floor. So, a little at a time. But she did great for her first day. Tomorrow we'll try some patch time, which may be more difficult.Monday, March 10, 2008

Miss Cora looks very stylish and studious in her new glasses! Claire tries to wear Jenna's glasses as often as she can. Jenna's vision is so bad that I imagine it makes Claire feel like she is in a very blurry world. We finally gave Claire a pair of Jenna's old glasses and took out the lenses.
