Micah's eye update

Micah was scratched on the eye when he was just a year old and it turned out to be a pretty nasty infection, which developed into a large scar on his cornea. 

This picture shows very clearly the scar just below his right pupil.


He has been followed pretty closely by a pediatric opthamologist and it was discovered his vision is being comprised at his last appointment.  The recommendation was for  patching for a few months to see if the vision could be improved.

 
We patch for 2 hours each morning before we go to school and he is tolerating it well.  Next appointment is in December, so we are praying that the patching has been working!
