Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Misty..the link posted has good instructions however...up your fragrance oil to 2-3 oz per lb. Since these animals are only going to be giving off a cold scent throw they need some extra 'punch' to them. Shana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Hi I am Jill. I am Ruthies mom. I havent been on in awhile as life is pretty busy with 4 children. We went to see Ruthies eye doctor at the Childrens Hospital a few weeks ago. She would like us to think about having the trans nasal wiring surgery done on Ruthie. She has her eyes checked every 6 months. The doctor is concerned about Ruthies peripheral vision being effected because if she turns her head to look to the side at something the opposite eye closes. Does anyone have a child who also does this? Has anyones child had the trans nasal surgery at this young of an age? Were they happy with the results? They are also tinking of redoing the sling surgery using tendon from her leg. Anyone of hear of this? Help so many questions. Thanks, Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Hi, i'm 23, i had the tendon taken from the leg for my first surgery when i was way young. Now its a 5 inch scar on my leg, i'd stick to the other type of sling, works just as well. My brother and i both have blepharophimosis, he had the surgery(trans nasal wiring) i didn't. If it is impeding her vision go for the surgery, if its not required i wouldn't even let them touch her. Another reason they like to do the trans nasal wiring is it gives you your epicanthis fold so you don't look asian basically.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Hello, Jill... My name is Terry. I haven't written in ages, but I wanted to respond to your questions. My daughter, (age 22 next month), has BPES. As a little girl, when she would look to one side, her one eye would close. It was quite a concern. She was compensating and that action helped her to see things, peripherally, better. Her vision was being affected because of the BPES. She was beginning to not use her right eye. She had to wear a patch during her time in Kindergarten. had the trans nasal wiring done when she was 5 years old. It was amazing how it pulled her eyes together (there was quite a space between them because of the BPES) and widened them horizontally. Our doctor said that doing this procedure first would benefit her and help to make the sling surgery more effective/successful. She recovered very quickly and had minimal to no scarring. Today there is no scarring that you can see. Six months later, at age 6, she had fascia removed from her leg to make the slings that would hold up her eyelids. This was a more involved surgery. She was very brave, though, and surprised all of us at how fast she recovered. The leg incision was more of a concern, actually, because it got infected and took longer to heal. The scar is about the size of a quarter, maybe a bit smaller and indented, too. Her scars above her eyebrows healed really nicely. Most of the time you never see them. Our doctor told us that she would not be able to close her eyes after this surgery. I didn't know if I wanted her to go through with it after I was told that. But after weighing the odds, we decided it was worth doing. To this day, can't keep her eyes closed while sleeping. She has adapted by sleeping on her stomach or placing her forearm over her brows to hold down the eyelids until she is asleep. It did alarm us at times to see her eyes wide open when she was asleep, but you get used to it and sleep comes even when the lids are open. She has never used eye drops or ointment for sleeping or any other time. She doesn't have dry eyes. I'm very glad about that. wears glasses for near-sightedness. I wish you all the best with your daughter, Ruthie. From, Terry Helgestad ('s mom) Edgerton, Wisconsin USA jricard5 <jricard5@...> wrote: Hi I am Jill. I am Ruthies mom.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Hi, this is Dannah. I mainly want to comment on the open eyes while sleeping problem. I'm 51 and when I had my surgeries (10) back in the late 50's and early to mid 60's BPES was not really known about. I lost the use of my left eye due to the eyelid covering it too much while it was trying to develop vision. Then when the surgeons took muscle from my thigh and put it into my lid to raise it, it could no longer close. Just so you know, I was advised to use ointment every night before I went to bed because my eye would not be able to produce enough tears. My eyes always watered and I had no problem with dry eyes so I didn't follow the doctors orders. Little did I know that my eyes were excessively watery because they were too dry! Hard to explain. Anyway, now my eye (because of not using ointment) is totally covered with scar tissue due to the fact that it could never close and it wasn't properly lubricated. Luckily I don't use this eye anyway so it doesn't impede my vision, but with your child who has sight in her both of her eyes at this time, I would highly recommend that you talk to your doctor about the possibility of scar tissue build-up and the affect it will have in the future on your daughter's eyesight should she not use lubricant. My other eye didn't have a problem with closing and although I am severely nearsighted (actually, legally blind without glasses) I can see clearly without any scar tissue impeding my vision. I didn't use lubricant in it either. I hope this helps you. My pics are posted under Dannah. Good luck and God bless. Hi I am Jill. I am Ruthies mom.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 It has been awhile since I have gotten on to the website and I almost forgot how helpful and supportive you all can be. Thank you all for your advice and for sharing your own stories. I always feel better talking with people who know where we are coming from. I think we are leaning towards having the surgery done. I will keep you all posted when we know when. THANKS AGAIN, Jill Billerica, MA USA Hi I am Jill. I am Ruthies mom. I havent been on in awhile as life is > pretty busy with 4 children.
