Yesterday, Errol embarked on a tour of all of the nation’s doctor’s offices with a trip to Greensboro to see his optometrist, Doctor Young (#853). Today, Errol continues his journey with a visit to his developmental pediatrician, on Monday, he makes a call on his dentist, two Wednesdays later he has his barium swallow study at Baptist Hospital, followed two days later by his heart catheterization. A medically busy time, even for the little man.
On Saturday, our dog, Waffles kicked off the celebration by eating Errol’s signature eyeglasses. Bad dog. Luckily for the doggie, Doctor Young said Errol needed new glasses anyway.
Dr. Young also had bad news for us today. Errol has become much more nearsighted since his last visit. His nearsightedness could stabilize, or it could worsen, possibly causing a detached retina, which, untreated, would leave Errol blind. We have to keep a keen eye on his eyes so that we catch any detachment. Otherwise, the consequences would be catastrophic.
We hope Errol's nearsightedness stabilizes, and we will be watching his eyes like hawks to make sure we catch any problems that develop.
Think of Errol.
