Eye Check up!

Eden had an eye check up today.  We didn't have anyone to take our other two girls so they came along!  It was the only apt. for that day so it made for a long day/quick trip but it could have been worse!  The girls actually did very well.  They napped for about 30 minutes in the car on the way there.  At the eye doctor there is a really nice play area that has a playhouse in it that has two levels.  The kids had a great time playing and making new friends.  We got called back once and a resident did some looking at her eyes.  Then they sent us back out to the waiting room.  About 30 minutes later we got called back again.  A different resident looked at her eyes.  He then put eye drops in to dilate her eyes so we had to sit in the waiting room for another half hour to wait for them to work.  We were finally called back to see our actual eye doctor, Dr. Drack.  I always love seeing her because she has seen a few Aicardi girls and always has super positive things to say about Eden.  She is very specialized in eyes and super smart and does a great job explaining things.
Eden has some discolored patches on the outer part of her retina but they don't seem to be a problem.  They are so far out in her peripheral vision that they shouldn't ever be a problem even if they eventually turned into lesions.  She still has the three lesions on her right eye but just like before they don't seem to be affecting her vision yet.  It is possible that one of the lesions might prevent a nerve from reaching the optic nerve but at the most it will cause a blind spot.  Her left eye is still completely healthy!  We are praising God for another awesome appointment!  We will go back to see Dr. Drack in 6 months!
