Jeepers Creepers

Eva's got great peepers!!

Preemies are very prone to an eye disorder called retinopathy of prematurity or ROP. The smaller/earlier a baby is the more likely she is to develop it. While Eva was in the hospital she was screened at one month and then again at two months. The first time they checked her the blood vessels in the retina were not mature (but then, neither was anything else) but those developed just fine and she never showed any symptoms of ROP.

The eye doctor is amazing and it was so interesting to watch him check Eva's little eyes. It was very different than when she was so tiny and unable to really "participate" in the exam and respond to what he was doing. Anyway, today's visit was a follow-up to make sure her eyes were still doing well, and they are! She's such an amazing little miracle!!
