Update Monday
Changes:
1. Went to the eye doctor today. Aimee had loads of fun being with Anna during the VERY invasive exam. A retractor is placed in each eye, pulling the eyelids apart. Then a metal something or other is stuck around the eyeball, for the doctor to move the eyeball around. Needless to say, Anna was not in a very jovial, light-hearted mood at the conclusion of her exam.
The doctor has diagnosed Anna with Stage 2 "retinopathy of prematurity" of Zone 3 of her eyes. This is a condition of immaturity of her eyes. Best case scenario is that she'll grow out of this condition in a couple of weeks. The doctor wants to have her back in for a "loads of fun" exam again in 3 weeks.
A couple of links may be of interest: Here's one that is a good read, with frequently asked questions. Here's another one that has some pictures of each Zone, and a description of the Stages.
