Eye Tests

Nick had a bit of a rough day today. He didn't have any de-sats. They needed to do the eye test on him for the Retinopathy. They dilate his eyes, then use a device to hold open his eyes. Once the eye is open they look at the eye using a magnifying glass and light. Needless to say, he did not like this AT ALL. He dropped his heart rate and his oxygen level all at once. The doctor opted to suspend the test for the day. They were able to get a look at the right eye, and a peek at the left eye. They felt like they didn't see any problems, but they want to try again to make sure next week. After that, Nick didn't really want to be messed with the rest of the day. Just touching him irritated him. Other than that, he is doing well. As long as no one was messing with him today, he was a happy boy. Tonight is a weight night, so I will let you guys know tomorrow what his new weight is. We are trucking towards 3lbs.(fingers crossed).
