We saw Joaquin's eye doctor again last week and received some good news. The patching of his "good" eye is working and she doesn't think he'll need eye surgery after all! WOW! Took me by surprise because she seemed to think it was the ONLY solution for so long.
She said his eyes are straightening on their own and that we should continue to patch his dominant eye 3 hours a day and then do a full eye evaluation in 3 months to see if maybe he needs glasses now.
So we will continue to monitor it closely and patch daily to help our little guy. It would be WONDERFUL not to do the surgery and to be able to fix it somewhat more naturally!

YESS, this is AWESOME news, Jen!!! So happy for you guys, and for Joachin! The human body is pretty amazing, isn't it?
Thanks for the update...we are in a similar boat with our third girl now and probably will start patching in January. It is nice to have followed his journey, so that I had a little knowledge walking into the office.
