Some of you already know that Tyson has been having some eye issues lately. A few weeks ago we noticed him blinking A LOT everytime he watched TV. We just saw an Ophthalmologist (my new favorite word) today and here's the verdict: Intermittent Exotropia. His eyes alone work perfectly, but when they work together, one sometimes will wander. For now, we just wait and see if it gets better (2/3 of all cases, kids just grow out of it). If it gets worse, then we may patch it for a couple hours a day or he may need glasses for a few hours a day. Hopefully it won't get that far, but if those treatments don't help he may have to get surgery. The Ophthalmologist (couldn't resist using that word again) will check on him again in 4 months...

Tyson is so cute with that cat. I bet you he will grow out of it. He's such a tough boy :)
It's good to hear that a lot of children grow out of the condition. I wouldn't worry too much, but I know you will. I know we did when you were diagnosed with a heart murmur, they said you would grow out of it and you did. Tyson sure does look cute with Miley. (I hope my spelling is correct, I really am lost without spell-check and the dictionary is too much trouble to get off the shelf!!!)
