Mira had her eye doctor appointment today after four months of patching. She's doing so well with that and doesn't complain. What a trooper! Her eyes are improving so much!
Her left eye has stayed steady at 20/25, and her right eye has gone from 20/80 to 20/50 to 20/30. The patching is definitely working! The vision in her left eye is pretty normal for a 4 year old.
She has another appointment in 3 months. We can drop her patching down to 4 times a week for 2-2 1/2 hours a day. The doctor said she might need to wear glasses until she is 8 or 9 years old for vision maintainence, but might not have to wear them after that. And maybe she won't need to wear them quite that long.
Oh, and Mira was accepted into Cedar Island Elementary school in Maple Grove for Kindergarten next year! We decided to open enroll her into a different school so that she could take the bus right from daycare every day. There are 3 kids from daycare going to Kindergarten next year, so they can all walk to the bus stop together and walk back to daycare together. Safety in numbers! {Or they will just get into more trouble together}. But they are all really good kids, so I'm glad they will be going together. It was either open enroll her, or pull her out of daycare and do the before and after care at the school. I think keeping her in a familiar routine with her friends is the better move. Plus Amelia is at the daycare and this eliminates 2 drop-offs in the morning.

wow congrats Mira- I here that school is very prestigious and hard to get into.
So glad your eyes are getting better. good for you
We are so happy about Mira's eyes. She is such a trooper with her glasses and patch!! I did not know there were prestigious schools in Kindergarten! Love you all, Grandma (hope Chris did well on his interview!!!)
Cedar Island isn't at all prestigious. Just a normal kindergarten that happens to be closer to daycare. It's actually a bit older than Basswood, where she was supposed to go. I'd rather she go to Basswood, but it's more important that she stay in her current daycare.
