Good looking




Another doctors appointment for Augie - today it's the eye doctor. Augies eyes need checking because of a condition that can occur with premature babies when the get to much oxygen in the first few weeks of there life. If found in time it can be corrected relatively easy. Unfortunately the procedure is rather traumatic (mostly for the parents but also for the baby) because in order to see the eye background the eyelids are kept open with some clamps. The procedure takes a while mainly because the drops to widen his eyes need some time to take effect.
