Micah is fine. Whew!!! It is very hard to describe, but when he wokeup from his nap it looked like a piece of pink tissuewas coming from the outer corner of his eye and wascovering the while of the eye as well as part of theiris and the pupil. I was very surprised when thedoctor told us it was the eyeball itself doing that. How weird! He said it can be caused by anything -something Micah touched and then touched his eye,something that got into his eye, an allergy, etc. Completely unrelated to the blepharophimosis. So Ihave special drops to put in his eye and they said itshould look normal very soon. Micah says it does nothurt. Thank you for your prayers! His eye looked so weirdand I was so worried. I am so relieved it is not abig deal and he is just fine. Shireen - thank youfor sharing your experience! If this doesn't go awayI will know what to ask the doctor.Hugs to everyone,April Eisele, Colorado, USAWife to JonMommy to Mira, Micah & Misha--- Andy Bowles & Shireen Mohandes<andy.bowles@...> wrote:> Hi> From what you describe, I believe that the same> thing happened to me.
