No Surgery
We took Charlize to an Opthamologist this week to see if we could finally get some answers in regards to her wandering right eye.
After 2+ years, it was a relief to finally hear a professional tell us that we weren't crazy and there WAS a direct link between Charlize being weaned off her meds after her heart surgery and this situation. The doctor practices at the MCH and knows the Doctor who operated on Charlize - he was actually very enthusiastic about how great a heart surgeon he is :)
At any rate, it was also heartening to know that although Charlize's eye does wander, it's not severe enough to require surgery to correct it. So what we'll do is just keep going back every 6 months for a checkup and hope it eventually corrects itself.
When you stop to consider just how much she's gone through to survive her open heart surgery without requiring a pacemaker, keeping her valve, etc, etc. A little thing like a wandering eye when she's extremely tired is so very very minor :)
