Emma at 6 months and Emma at 18 months
The first picture (the blurry one- sorry) was at about 6 months when we had found out that something was wrong with Emma's eyes. She looks like she is making a funny face, but that's really how her eyes were at the time.She was born with crooked eyes but her first pediatrician failed to diagnose it at 3 months and at 5 months.

First pair of glasses
Emma started wearing glasses at around 8 months. She didn't like that pair too much although she looked adorable.

Patching and new glasses
Because the pediatrician failed to see her strabismus earlier on, she developed a lazy eye. She has a big preference for her left eye and will use it whenever she can, so we had to patch it in order to force her to use her right eye.
Emma at about 14 months
After being on the hospital's waiting list for almost a year, Emma is ready for surgery. Just seeing this picture brings back all the anxiety of the moment.
Post surgery- first time opening her eyes
The doctor told us that her eyes would feel like sand paper. She was one cranky unhappy baby. It broke our heart.

Leaving the hospital with daddy
Her eyes were very sensitive to light for the first couple of days. The nurse gave is these super star pink glasses, she loved them.
Surgery was a success!
