Re: Open eye lid question--now angry eye

[Guest guest]

Tell me about this " angry eye " --that's a perfect name for what we've seen on

Elijah lately. Can it just be on one eye? The left side of his face is the

pushed-out side, and we often look at him and say he's " scowling " at us.

We had just gone to the dr. Monday and I forgot to ask, but if he noticed it, he

didn't mention anything about it. so maybe it's normal?

I don't think what she is describing is angry eye, since the eye is staying

completely open and is not squished close. If the OT at CT hadn't seen it

before, it must be something else. Possibly related to her hypotonia? Does it

happen all the time, or only when her band is on? I've never heard of that

happening before. Usually one eyelid is more lazy (closed) than the other, but

the other responds normally. It's curious that the eye doctor didn't have any

answers for you, I would expect he would. Hmmm...I'm sorry I have no answers

either. Maybe seek a different opinion from another eye doctor?
