I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
First, if you unfamiliar with Alivia’s Intermittent Exotropia, you can find some previous posts I’ve published about it HERE.
It’ll be about two months that we’ve been patching Livvy’s strong eye to treat her Intermittent Exotropia and she’s been tolerating it fabulously! We started out with around 25 – 30 minutes and are currently patching for about an hour now! When I first started patching I was noticing her eye deviate a lot less. At around the month and a half mark, however, I started to see it deviating more frequently. Not quite as frequent as when we weren’t patching at all but never the less, more frequent. In the beginning I was hopeful that the patch was going to be a successful treatment but now I’m not so sure.
Alivia loves being outside. She loves playing with the sand, but not standing in it even with shoes on. We had to lay a towel on the sand for her to feel comfortable sitting in it. When she got even a speck of sand on her feet she’d demand us to “wife” her feet. That’s not a typo. She pronounces “wipe” as “wife”. She likes the warm ocean water but absolutely loves the pool! She likes Mommy and Daddy to pull her around in her floatie. She also likes to lean back in her float just enough to be able to kick up her feet comfortably and show off her pruned little piggy toes! She loves sunhats and sunglasses and wears them well! She loves her pink crocs and Little Swimmer pull-up diapers! Hmmmm, what else? She loves her Daddy! She got to spend so much time with him while we were away on vacation! It was so nice seeing them play and interact with each other. I love the way she looks at him with such love in her eyes. You can see that she feels so safe and secure in his arms. I am going to write a post about this separately because I have some great pictures of the two of them together. Today, however, I wanted to share some pool pictures. Our pool in FL was so beautiful! It was pristine, heated, and deserted (just the way we like it). Nothing like having a HUGE pool to yourself! Boy did we pick the perfect week to vacation in Sarasota.
Did you start your blogging website without really knowing anything about HTML? I did. Blogger made it so easy to create a website without having to know code which was nice. If you want to customize, however, that’s a different story. I’m always looking up code online. You know stuff like ‘creating image code’, ‘removing page titles’, ‘centering and image’ and my most recent search ‘creating buttons (thumbnail pictures) with scrolling text underneath'.
