Guess what? I finally made a button for this little ol’ blog o’ mine! If you are interested in buttoning up, feel free to steal it! You will see it in my sidebar. The reason it took me so long to create one is because I wasn’t sure how to
do it. I finally had some time to do some research online and found a tutorial. I would have attached the link to the site, but the code provided was incorrect. After many tweaks, I finally fixed it. I’ll try to do a future post about creating buttons incase you do not know how to create one yourself.
On a different note, I just tried the patch on Alivia’s eye yesterday. It didn’t go as badly as I had pictured it in my mind. I had this idea that if she saw mommy wearing it, she may want to wear it too! I actually saw a hint of a smile when I first put it on. She thought we were being pirates together. I ran around the house saying “Ahoy mates!” Yes, it was quite the sight! She quickly realized it wasn’t that fun after all. I struggled with her a bit to keep it on, but in the end she won. She finally ripped it off. I don’t want to force it too much. I don’t want her relating the patch to fighting with mama. I will introduce it slowly but persistently in hopes that she, at some point, will be a little more cooperative. I’m supposed to be patching her eye for about 20 – 30 minutes a day. Even if I can get it on for 5 minutes at a time, I will be happy. In case you are a little lost, I wrote about Alivia’s Intermittent Exotropia in some previous posts which you can find HERE and HERE.
