Playing Jeopardy

Okay, my new imom friends.... I need a little advice.

We have our second eye appointment (post surgery) next week. At the contact check up appointment I felt very unprepared. I have so many questions in my head, but when I was the in room with the doctor, I had no idea what to ask. So here's where we are at this point:

  • We had the cataract extraction at 6 wks old
  • Coco has been wearing her contact (12 hrs per day) and patching (6 hrs per day) since she was 8 weeks old.
Some days here lately it seems she is clawing at her eye with the contact. Almost like it is a persistent itch that she can't scratch. She also is getting a little drainage (our boys call them 'eye boogers'....i know life with boys, right?) in her eye while the contact is in. Did any of you experience any of that while using contacts? Lastly, what should I be doing with her to encourage her to use her eye more efficiently? I've read some of your blogs that mention OT and VI workers that helped your babies out. Should I begin these types of therapy with her?

I guess I am just starting to feel a little lost in this new eye world that will be our home for the next forever! Hubs thoroughly enjoys watching jeopardy (he's a rock star at that game), I on the other hand, can ONLY answer the pop culture questions. There are not too many pop culture questions on that show, so I'M VERY BAD AT THE GAME! This new world feels like a constant episode of Jeopardy. I am just so unsure of the questions to ask at this point. Any help imom's would be super fabulous! I hope you and your families are all doing well.
