There's a condition called 'Retinopathy of Prematurity' that affects premature babies, and I'm definitely one of those... The retina can detach from the back of the eye and there can be abnormal or too many blood vessels a the back of the eye and they might not work properly. They tested my eyes by putting drops in them that dilate my pupil. They then have a look through my eye to see what's going on...
My eyes look fine. They're going to check them again in a couple of weeks to see if everything still looks OK. The oxygen they give me, if it's at a very high level may still affect them, but let's hope not. I still can't see properly obviously, but I hope to develop my sight just like a normal little baby.

How did the party with your friends go last night? I bet you were worn out and felt tired this morning. I spoke to mummy on the phone this evening and she gave me all the news, so glad to hear your eyes are ok. Will see you tomorrow evening. Stay strong sweetheart. I love you.
ReplyDeleteWell that's very good news Oscar! I hope the diuretics are working effectively and that you're less puffy now. Mummy and Daddy must be very happy and pleased! No doubt you'll be seeing them soon as well as your pet rabbit, Stuart! I wish you the sweetest of dreams. Vallie X
ReplyDeleteDear Oscar
ReplyDeleteWe are relieved to hear that your eyes are probably OK, will keep our fingers crossed for you. Thinking of you all the time especially as you're taking the steroids. They do make you look a bit puffy, but never mind things will sort themselves out and then your mommy and daddy might be able to relax a bit. It must be nerve racking for yourself wondering what is going to happen. Will come and see you soon.
All our love Janice and Brian xxxx
