She's much better. Her eyes still drift in, but not all the time and we're certain she can see  . She tracks and she recognizes faces. We'll probably have some opthamologistic issues ahead of us but they don't look quite as ominous as they did initially. It's just so nice to get to know her!
Thanks for your continued prayer support.

St. Lucy is a powerful advocate for eye issues ... so we'll keep asking her intercessions. And lots of hugs (which I'm sure the Foss family handles quite well) help enormously!

Elizabeth, I am just noticing this. When my seventh baby was born he was just 6 lbs and he had one eye "frozen" in the quadrant between looking straight ahead and his nose. Try as he might he could not get it to come out of that quadrant. I would hold his little newborn head still with one hand and coo at him from the right side trying to work that eye out. After lots of "work" and three weeks of time he was able to get it moving all the way out. Still his eyes seemed ever so slightly crossed all the time. I took him to a pediatric opthalmologist who said he would probably need glasses at a very young age. The eye crossing was his attempt to focus. He said he was far-sighted, but he warned me that that was kind of a misnomer because he couldn't really see well far away either. At any rate, all newborns see fuzzy for the first few months. He had him in fairly thick (but really darling)glasses by three years old. At his next eye check they discovered he had NO depth perception at all. We have been using an eye patch every day for 2 hours for the past six months or so to develop the depth perception and strengthen that weak eye. The patching really straightened out his eyes and gave him some, but as yet not all, normal depth perception. Our glasses experience with a toddler have been mostly fun, except it is frustrating to have to buy many pairs of glasses because they keep getting broken. It's the frames that break, not really the lenses, and the ones that seem the strongest are the $10 plastic pair from Walmart, believe it or not. This child is extremely visual and draws detailed clever little pictures continually. None of this stuff has really affected our lives in any bad way. Only problem is everyone tells him he looks like Harry Potter and he doesn't like that too much!
