Took Brody to the doctor this morning because he's been a little under the weather - snotty nose, slight fever, nasty cough. Another kid at daycare was recently diagnosed with RSV, so I was feeling a little paranoid. Anyway, he doesn't have RSV (whew!), and the doctor (not our normal doc, btw) said his lungs were clear so the cough was just from drainage, but he does have a double ear infection. Amoxicillin for 10 days and he should be all better. BUT, she has me a little freaked out because she thinks Brody is cross eyed. :( Seriously? How could I not have noticed this before? I love staring into his big sparkly brown eyes and I feel like a terrible mother that I haven't noticed this before. Well, I shouldn't say that...I have noticed in a couple of pictures that sometimes one eye seemed to be "lazy" (for lack of a better term), but I assumed it was just the way the camera captured his eyes at the moment. But look at this picture....
Yah. See his right eye? That's the eye she said she noticed it in. So, we're scheduled to see a Pediatric Omthamologist. Only thing is, they can't get him in until June 1st! So till then I guess I just have to be paranoid....hmmph.
he is still one of the cutest babies in the world - cross eyes or not!! i JUST learned about this (how to correct it actually) in class the other night. not sure what the doctor told you - but we can discuss sometime if you'd like :) also, don't feel bad for not noticing - i don't think it is a severe case, and i was like you too, just thought it was the way his eyes were focusing when you took the photos. i don't think i really noticed much in person. love you guys!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rachel - he is still the cutest little guy!! And I never noticed either! - Dusty
