Going, going, going all day...

After Jazzy's eye appointment, I had to work for awhile, then we went to cheerleading and the Polar Express- which both just happened to be in the same building. Santa read the Polar Express book. He didn't read too well and mis-pronounced a few words:) and the elf didn't seem too interested, but the kids didn't notice. Afterwards, they all sat on Santa with the *real* beard's lap, made crafts, and ate cookies and hot chocolate.

Eye appointment

This morning we had a follow up visit with Dr. Kelly deSimone, our developmental optometrist- who specializes in disorders like Jazzy's strabismus/amblyopia. Jasmine's overall vision has improved gradually from 20/80 to 20/30 with the glasses and daily eye patching we are doing. She still does not have stereoscopic vision i.e. she has very little depth perception, and her two eyes do not focus together. We are supposed to use even smaller beading exercises, smaller puzzles, more tracing exercises with fatter then thinner lines, and some iron on design making things from JoAnn fabrics. We are also supposed to start "in office" Vision Therapy in the next couple of months to speed the process.
