Adam update

It's been awhile since I've needed to post an Adam update, which is a huge blessing! And we are still blessed that Adam has excellent vision with his glasses, no "new" cataracts, and no signs of glaucoma. But we do have a very minor 'situation'. Adam has been sticking his index fingers betweens his glasses and closed eyelids and vigorously rubbing his eyes many times a day for the past two weeks. I was finally able to get him in to see the resident at the pediatric eye clinic at the U this morning. Both the triage gal and the resident asked me, "How long did he wear contacts before he got glasses?" so I knew they were seeing something amiss. I explained to them both that Adam never wore contacts; he had IOLs implanted immediately after his cataracts were removed. Apparently the inner parts of both his upper and lower lids are enflamed, appearing like "contact over-wear". Since he never wore contacts, they then suggested possible allergies but ruled that out since it's not allergy season and he has no other symptoms. When I let them know he'd had pinkeye about 4 weeks ago, they postulated his eyes have not completely healed from that?? We've been instructed to use artificial tears (more eye drops for the poor lil guy) four times a day for the next week or so. If he's still rubbing or if things get worse, we need to make another appointment - this time to see Dr. B himself. The resident assured me that things look good - Adam is seeing well, his pressures are great (i.e., no signs of glaucoma), no pus or other signs of infection. Please pray that this is just a tiny blip on the radar and doesn't blossom into something else.
