Window to the soul...




Please say a little prayer for Gwyneth.
Tomorrow she has yet another appointment with her eye doctor.
She was born with neither eye working correctly. Last year she had surgery which corrected one of her problems. We had hopes that it would also help with her other eye, which wanders on it's own, but it's only gotten worse. She sees two of everything most of the time and will not go near stairs because of it. When she is looking at something in her hands she tilts her head at just the right angle so that she can see it correctly. If it can't be fixed her brain will eventually shut off the signals from that eye causing it to be "blind" and will create a lazy eye. We started patching her good eye for 2 hours every day when she was about 6 months old. I have since given up on that. It's just not really working. Our prayer is that there is a way to fix it with surgery. We'll keep ya posted!

Poor thing, eye problems are not fun. I hope she knows how to "fix" it this time!

Oh Gwynnie! I will pray that God will heal your eye. It's frustrating enough to just wear contacts.

Love you girlie!
