Finn had a regular follow-up appointment with the pediatric opthamologist today. It was a complete non-event, which I guess is good. Everything looks good, he seems to see just fine, and the doc didn't mention anything about the apparent smaller optic nerve that he made note of 9 months ago. Whatever. Sometimes I feel like we're just going through the motions for some of this stuff. If your kid has Ds, there's a checklist, apparently, of things to have checked periodically, whether they're exhibiting symptoms or not. Not sure how I feel about it at this point. I'm throwing the hearing eval out the window, that I know. Vision, the doc said come back in a year. Okay.
I dunno. This doctor is a good doctor, I guess. He's got a good bedside manner, a good reputation. We actually took Joey to see him when he was a baby because he went through a period of occasionally crossing his eyes (he outgrew it), so Finn is actually not our first experience with this guy. He's nice. But kind of a ding bat. The first time I took Finn to see him, you might remember that he was of the opinion that Finn must only have mild Down syndrome. A doctor, for crying out loud! Today he was of the opinion that Finn was a little girl. He kept referring to him as "her" and "she." It was too comical to even get offended over; I just kept snickering to myself. Sheesh. |
