Zadie's Lazy Eye

So apparently Zadie's left eye hasn't been doing its chores. It has become a little lazy. We had to go to the optometrist to get her vision checked out. The right eye was perfect but the left eye didn't see so well. It was somewhat of a traumatic experience for her (and Dad!). She had to have eye drops put in to dilate her eyes and then the doctor checked them out. She did not want to have glasses at all. We got back today from a second appointment and were told that she really didn't need glasses but would have to patch her right eye for two months. Two days on and one day off. We worked it out so she wouldn't have to have the patch on during her birthday party. Today is an on day. She is taking it pretty good. Better than Dad is! Lazy eye is called amblyopia.
