Off to Johns Hopkins

We are off to Northern VA tomorrow night to stay with my Dad for a couple of days because Natalie has an appt at the Johns Hopkins Eye Institute on Thursday afternoon. The local pediatric eye specialist discovered that her optic nerves look very swollen, but he has ruled out both main causes and would like us to get a second opinion to help determine whether there is a real problem or if her optic nerves are just genetically larger then normal. As of the last check, her vision was perfect, but if her optic nerves really are swollen and it goes untreated, it could start to affect her vision. But since both main causes have already been ruled out, I'm leaning towards feeling like that's just they way she is. I will report back sometime this weekend.
