For some reason, eye appointments always run late. We know it though, so we pack snacks, take walks and watch all the other crazy families and we do just fine. The key to these being successful trips is leaving Andrew with Matt! He would not have nearly as much fun as Mason seems to have. He always enjoys this waiting area for some reason. My camera died so I didn't get any pictures of him enjoying the view, but we spent a lot of time looking at the cars and people below. The good news - his eye is still working as it should. The slight droop he has is not getting in his way at all. They also checked his 3-D vision and that's still good too!
A friend of mine mentioned that she had her daughter's eye checked out and then got to pay a bunch of money to hear everything was normal. It made me think -- we have spent A LOT of money on Mason to hear that all is fine. Of course I prefer that to getting bad news. In fact, if I ever get bad news I think I'll ask for my money back! :)
As soon as Mason turns 2, I believe his hypothyroid appointments will go down to 2 times a year instead of 4. The same with his eye appointments - once he can answer questions, those will slow down to once a year (and at age 4 or 5 will become part of his normal checkup unless there is a concern).
I am so thankful he's a healthy boy!

I think you echo the sentiments of every parent - we'd all rather pay tons of money to know our children are healthy.
We took Freya into the eye doctor when she was over a year old because I thought her eyes looked a little crossed and they had to reassure me it's due to the bridge of kid's noses not being fully formed which gives the impression of crossed eyes. totally worth $300!!
Cheers to your healthy little guy!
Excellent news Lori (and Mason)! You are a healthy, happy, sweet little boy!!
