4 Perfect Little Eyes

Preemies born before 32 weeks need to have a follow up retinal exam after they leave the NICU to check to see if they are developing properly since they did not get to develop fully in utero. Any extended time spent on oxygen can cause problems as well. Since Jonah and Silas were born the day of the cutoff their doctors wanted them to get checked just in case. I was a little worried about Jonah because he took longer to really open his eyes and start looking around, he's more of a kinesthetic tactile little guy than Silas. Both of them got a good report today for which we are very thankful!

  1. Wow, I kept checking at Sweaty Peten to find out what was happening with the babies . . . I didn't realize you had your own blog. Congrats (2 months late apparently!) on two beautiful little boys. I'm glad their eye exams checked out. :)
