Teagan and Piper visit the Eye Doctor

"Piper, which is better?  One or Two?"

"Which shape jumps out of the page?"

Teagan's turn...

Checking to see if Teagan is color blind.

Piper is gonna wake up with a BIG shiner tomorrow...her eye really is that swollen partially closed.

OUCH!!

Can't really tell from here how much her eye lid is sticking out!  Her nose is clean though ; )

Chloe was diagnosed about a month ago with Optic Nerve Drusen.  It's a swelling of the optic nerves which could be hereditary or it could be caused by intercranial pressure.  But until you know which one your child has, it's kind of scary!! (being a CT Tech makes it all the WORSE to wait and find out)  Thankfully, Chloe's is hereditary however, we don't know WHO started it since Shane and I have never been told that we have it.  Regardless, the specialist we saw at The Wolfe Eye Clinic suggested I get the other girls tested.  So today, I took in Teagan and Piper for their eye exams.  (NOT even going to try to get pictures of Aftyn's optic nerves at this age!!)  They both have 20/20 vision and NO Optic Nerve Drusen!!  I'm not sure if this will present itself with problems in the future for Chloe or how this will all shake out but just to be sure, we have to take her back in 6 months to see Dr Suh at Wolfe Eye Clinic just to make sure the swelling is stable.  Enough for now...-AS

PS.  Not more than 3 hours after seeing the eye dr, Piper got NAILED on the neighbors' trampoline by a knee or something.  I'm certain she'll wake up with a big shiner in the morning!!
