Posterior Subcapsular Polar Cataract

I had a strong feeling to take

Suzi into the eye doctor.

(A feeling I hope to have

that will never go away).

...I just noticed that her eyes were

not working together, and that

her right eye seemed dominate 

over the left eye.

Even though her pediatric doctor

said she was okay,

I still felt like I needed to take her in.

On Friday November 8, 2013

John and I took our sweet Suzi into 

the eye doctor.

It was there that she was 

diagnosed with

Posterior Subcapsular Polar

Cataract in her left eye.

She will need eye surgery

as soon as we can figure things

out with our insurance

and the scheduling with the

hospital.

John and I were pleasantly surprised how well
Suzi did with her first vision appointment.
At first she wanted to sit on my lap
in "the chair" while the nurse checked
her vision to look at the pictures on
the screen. But then when we moved into Dr. V's
office, Suzi wanted to sit all by herself!
He put her up to the big eye machines where
she looked through and he studied her eyes.
She did everything
he asked her to do and sat really still.
Dr. V wanted me to hold her while they put
eye drops in, and they were all surprised that
she didn't even make a peep.
She was such a strong little girl!

...And the glasses were to protect her eyes
from the light.

We are feeling a little anxious
but calm for the most part.
We hope you will remember our sweet
Suzi in your prayers!
