Troy had his Ophthalmologist appointment on Tuesday. After checking both his eyes they determined that his nerves are now sending signals to his brain & his eyes are now reacting to light. He said that probably the right eye will have better vision then the left eye. I was happy with this bit of news because at 3 days old he was not reacting to light at all & his eyes were dialated. At this point we still won't know for awhile to what extent he will be able to see. The doctor said to try not to worry about it because a lot of these kids end of seeing a lot better then projected. He did say he was going to register him with the county as legally blind, so Troy will be able to receive more services. He did say that could change in the future depending on how much Troy's sight improves. I am optimistic that with the Grace of God that Troy will continued to improve & what a testimony it will be. I thank God for him. He is truly a blessing and we love him very much.
Feedings with Troy continued to be a struggle. He will drink a little of his bottle and then spit out the nipple & cry & fuss. Sometimes just stiffening out his body & then he will settle down & take a few more sips then it starts all over again. We have changed his formula to Similac Gentlease & now to Similac Prosobee. I am beginning to think its some type of sensory issues. He will eat good for a couple weeks then he presents again with the same issues. Today has been a little better so please pray that Troy continues to improve in this area.
