Ryan had another appointment with the ophthalmol- ogist Friday. His eyesight (with his glasses on) is almost 20/20! We are to modify his patching to just one hour per day of close-up work and two hours just doing whatever he wants. So he actually has to wear it longer, but he doesn't have to sit still for so long. This makes Mommy and Ryan happy! We go back again in four weeks, and if he's seeing the same or better, then we will schedule surgery. So in all likelihood, he will have the surgery in September sometime.
The doctor told me something that surprised me. I commented that he seems to be crossing quite frequently with his right eye now and not just his left. She said, "That's good!" Huh? She said it means that he's seeing equally well out of both eyes and his brain isn't showing a preference for just one eye. She was very happy to hear that and said it makes his prognosis good and less complicated.

Oh that is great news on the patching!!! I know it's been hard these last couple of weeks patching, but it's paying off!!!
Good Job Ryan!
