8 Days to Go...

My dad always says that Micah smiles with his eyes...and he's right. Micah can light up a room and melt your heart with those eyes. I love how unique they are. When he was about 3 weeks old and started opening his eyes more often, I quickly noticed that one pupil was larger than the other. I contacted a former student's parent, that was a pediatric nurse. She told me to get it checked out as quickly as possible. More than likely it was just they way his eye was (kind of like a birthmark), but it could also be the sign of something more serious (like a brain tumor). She recommended a specialist that also happened to be the pediatric eye specialist of another family friend. He was an amazing, Christian man that quickly reassured us that Micah was just fine. He has a condition called Anisocoria. While Anisocoria can be more worrisome for adults that develop it later in life, when it is found in babies early on and there are not other underlying issues, it's perfectly normal...and probably something genetic. However, to be safe, we had his eyes checked again when he was 4 months old and we have another appointment coming up in a few weeks. If things look normal, then he will continue to go see Dr. Hunt every year until he is in school and can communicate to the doctor about his vision. This all being said...I love looking at his eyes. Everytime I do, I'm reminded of how beautiful he is and that he was "fearfully and wonderfully made." There is no flaw in him and he is perfect...he is the creation of the God Most High...he is a reflection of of Him!
