Post Surgery - Wednesday 28th April

We went back to hospital the next day to have William's eye checked. Dr Maslin is the Paediatric Opthamologist that would be taking over post operative care. We were shown into a room and then a few Opthamologists came in and all peered at Williams eye and chatted about it. Dr Small told us to patch his good eye straight away for an hour a day and Dr Maslin didn't think there was any point as William wouldn't be able to see anyway. When we had his contact we'd have to patch for 50% of William's waking hours. I asked how would we tell if he could see with his contact in and Dr Maslin said if he can't see he'll rock his head back and forth and if that's the case then we'd have to up the patching to 80% of his waking hours. The contact lens would be arriving in a week and that's when Dr Maslin thought it would be a good idea to patch. We patched that week just to get William used to being patched and I think it was a good thing.
