Earlier in the day, we found out from Farrah's day nurse that her head ultrasound was normal. Her brain development is also right on target for her age. Yay! Her day nurse told us that they were going to do the eye exam today instead of tomorrow due to the doctor's schedule.
We went over to the hospital this evening and had not heard anything else about the eye exam. When we arrived, Farrah's night nurse, her primary night nurse Sherri, told us that Farrah hated the eye exam and fought against them the entire time. The excitement of it all completely wiped Farrah out. Sherri warned us that Farrah's color was a little different tonight because of how much fighting the eye exam took out of her. Her face was very pale when we saw her. When preemies get worked up and wiped out, it tends to effect their color (just like it did to Farrah). It was hard to hear how much Farrah did not like the exam. I can see how it is tough for parents to watch their kids get shots or go through any type of painful procedure. The good news is that this eye exam did not show any problems. They will continue to do the eye exam every two weeks, and Farrah will most likely react the same way. Hopefully she will be feeling better tomorrow.
