What the Henkel, Padawan?

Well, it looks like our young Padawan will finally be getting treatment for her eye. We met with the panel of doctors from various fields and they decided to try the new beta blocker treatment. They were shocked that we had heard about the new treatment since it was only discovered in June 2008. The great thing about this is that it has far fewer side effects than the steroid treatment.

Now, we wait for them to book an appointment with the children’s hospital who will setting up the treatment schedule. Because it’s such a new treatment, they will have to keep a close watch on her overall health. That means our extended trip to Canada will be postponed for a little bit. We’re not sure for how long until the treatment schedule is established. Disappointing, but very much needed for our little girl.

Here she is enjoying her first time in her new Bumbo chair. It’s suppose to help her strengthen her neck muscles, supplementing her much hated “tummy time”. It’s already helping her digestive system since every time we put her in it the apartment experiences major earthquake tremors.
