Seeing the World Through New Eyes

Iris got her patch off today and she couldn't be happier.  At first she just stopped and looked at my face like it was the first time she was seeing it (maybe it was).  She was in shock for a little while.  She just stood there and laughed and laughed.  After dancing around the doctors office looking at everything she had to get drops in her eyes and then put the patch back on.  She was not happy with that in the least. 
Iris has an appointment next week to check the eyes again and maybe start patching the good eye to help strengthen the weak eye or possibly glasses.  So we will see.  All in all she is doing extremely well.

Added humor from last night, Iris received a new eye patch to wear home and to wear at night to help protect the eye.  This new patch is metal with a cloth attached around the outside.  The patch has many little holes in it (as seen in the above photo).  As we prepared Iris for bed we put the patch on her eye.  Elliot saw this new patch on Iris for the first time and asked, "why does Iris have to wear a speaker on her eye?"
