Back In Contacts! Day 1


Elias!
14 Months Old!
Sooo As I Mentioned In One Of My Previous Posts,  After 7 Months In Glasses Elias Is Going Back To Contacts!  And They Came Today!!!!!   I Decided To Put Them In Right After His Nap, While He Was Still Tired.. They Went In GREAT! It Took Me Like 2 Seconds! And In The Aphakic World That's A Record!!! :)  It Took Him A While To Open His Eyes,  And Adjust To Having Them In, But It Wasn't Long Before He Was Off Playing!  We Have Decided To Keep Him In Glasses... Just Plano  Lenses For Now, We Want Him To Stay Accustomed To Having Them On, Seeing As How He Will Be In Bifocals Soon.. Not To Mention The Glasses Will Help Prevent Him From Rubbing The Contacts Out.

The Reason We Stopped Using Contacts Before Was Due To His Astigmatism Causing The Lens To Fit Poorly, And His Right Eye Began To " Fall Behind ".   At Out Last Visit With The Pediatric Opthamologist, The Dr. Mentioned That Eli Had Almost Fully Outgrown His Astigmatism, And It Looks Like He Has! ( Knocking On Wood ) His Contact Fit Perfectly All Day! And I'm Happy To Say That He Didn't Rub It Out Once!
I'm Just Keeping My Fingers Crossed That He Keeps Being The Rock Star He Is!
And Continues To Take To Them Without A Problem!

So The Contacts That We Use ( Silsoft ) Can Supposedly Stay In The Eye For Up To 30 Days Before Needing To Be Cleaned! However, I'm Going To Try And Make Putting Them In, And Taking Them Out, Part Of Our Daily/Nightly Routine... 
Soo Far Day One Has Gone Awesome! Contacts Are Out, And Baby Is Sleeping Soundly!
I Figure We Will Just Take It One Day At A Time! That's Really All One Can Do!

Luck Wishing, And Good Vibe Sending Are Greatly Welcomed!
