The past couple of weeks have become more difficult with Cambria and her glasses. After a month of not being bothered by them at all, she is constantly trying to take them off. She ussually grabs at them when she is tired or upset and she has become quite fond of eating them. She is delayed in grabing things and putting them in her mouth, probably because she can't see very well, but she has found her hands and now her glasses. As her desire to chew on things becomes stonger (because of teething) she reaches for what she knows (not sees) and that is her hands and glasses. We are so thankful she takes a pacifier (Gavin and Avalyn never would) it does help distract her for a while, but she is not very good at keeping it in her mouth for long periods of time. We have to have our attention on her completely for her to keep them on her face and this is not always possible and when she is fussy there is no stopping her. I thought they might be getting too tight or not fitting right, so I took them in and they adjusted them, but nothing has changed she is still pulling at them. She still might not see well with them on, but they are primarily for the esotropia (her eyes crossing) and that seems to be getting much worse the more she takes them off. As her eyes develop more, hopefully they will be able to prescribe a more affective lense at helping her vision. Right now we are praying that they fix her esotropia or she will probably need surgery. We have noticed improvement in her right eye, but none has been seen in her left (we are anticipating surgery in that one). She has started to smile more at us, but only when we get right up to her face (nose to nose) and talk to her (she doesn't respond to just facial expressions). Please pray that Cambria keeps them on and that her vision and esotropia improves. I just imagine if she could talk she would say "babies aren't supposed to need glasses" and we just keep telling her "God made you extra special". Thank you so much for all your prayers!
