Eyes A OK

Mikaila had her scheduled second eye exam today. Unfortunately the appointment was back at the Albany Medical Center. You see, we have been instructed to avoid malls, churches and crowds of any sort. However, the same folks offering this advice are scheduling appointments at a place that by definition attracts sick people. Yeah, that makes sense. Ya feeling me here?

Back to the eye exam, Mikaila really didn't enjoy her visit with the opthalmologist. The eye drops aren't so bad. They simply dilate her eyes. However, the next step is to shine a bright light into eyes. She really didn't care for that. She screamed like a frightened cat (in fact, her scream sounds very cat-like) for a few seconds but as is her way, she quickly bounced back. The results were very favorable. Her eyes are fully developed. She has no issues with her eyes.

We did weigh her tonight although she was weighing a onsie. With wires and onsie, Mikaila weighed 5 lbs 2 ounces. We have been feeding her 50 mls every three hours and she had no problem. We may include a few feedings of pure breast milk to help her with the reflux. Also, at the doctor's office yesterday they measured her length. She is currently 17 inches long. That's it for tonight.
