Please pray for Cambria's eyes. At her 2 month appointment a few weeks ago the doctor was concerned about her eyes and gave us a referal for a pediatric opthomologist. She is not tracking, she doesn't respond to facial expressions, she doesn't focus on objects or toys, and her eyes are almost always crossed (if you haven't noticed in her pictures). She has always had trouble with keeping her eyes open for a long period of time, they were closed for the 1st 2 weeks of her life and she has continued to sleep for most of her day. We weren't too concerned and I didn't even bring her eyes up to the doctor, I just figured she was a little behind, but the doctor said it needed to be looked at. We are thankful that God has blessed us with the top children's opthomologist in town, despite the fact he doesn't take our insurance. It was a week long fight with our health insurance to use him, but after the only pediatric specialist on their list couldn't see her till May 16th they agreed to cover it. Don't get us wrong we love our free health care and are so thankful for it, but we needed someone who had worked with infants and since Kyle is deploying at the begining of May we wanted to get an appointment before he left. We have an appointment on April 15 and look forward to seeing what could be wrong and if there is a solution. We know she is not blind and as the concern has been brought to us she shows no others signs of autism or developmental delay. Their have been some good things happen since her appointment when she was 9 1/2 weeks. She has discovered her hands, she is much more content with sitting in a swing or chair and try to look at things for a little while, and she is finally staying awake for longer periods of time. She still has no ability to track, her eyes are still crossed (mainly the left eye), and she still struggles to focus on objects (sometimes it's as if she is in pain). We are so thankful for our little blessing, she is as sweet as can be. Thank you so much for all your prayers. We will update you with how God is working in this situation!

I saw your post about having a blog and cyberspaced right over. I will be praying for Cambria and the rest of your family. It sounds like you have some pretty imprtant days ahead of you. Look forward to reading more.
Sarah, I'm so glad to know that you have a blog! ;)
We will certainly be praying for Cambria's eyes. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do!
We will definitely be praying for sweet little Cambria and that God will have this situation worked out perfectly. I know as a mommy that is scary to have your child faced with something like this. I'm anxious to hear the outcome of the doctor appointment. She is still a beautiful little girl!!!
