This school year my lil guy has had a really hard time getting into his work. He's been fading out in class, losing interest and goofing off. Which is SO not like him!
And it has (had) me worried.
Then I recalled over the sumemr he was telling me about "the lights" he sees when he gets outside. Especially in the car he says "Don't you see those mom? They're all over, spotty lights."
And a few nights ago I was crossing my eyes at him and he asked me how I do that. So I told him to take his finger, keep his eyes on it, and bring it closer to his face, so his eyes would cross.
Well one eye did it, the other stayed looking straight ahead, didn't even move. Over and over, it never even wiggled.
This had me worried, along with the spotty light thing and his lack of enthusiasm with school work. So I took him to get his eye's tested today. Now I have to take him to a pediatric eye specialist. I'm sure it's nothing too serious, but I worry so much as it is....they said one of his eyes isn't developing, and that he may need to wear a patch sometimes. Glasses for sure.
And on the upside, I'm sort of glad that he needs glasses and it's not a behaviour problem. The downside is the doctor scared me when he said he was worried about the light flashes and wants a specialist to look in his eye.
Argh.... momminess is hard.
