She has the most beautiful sparkle about her! What joy she has already brought to your life. Your mom would be proud...<BR/><BR/>Just to let you know, our daughter from China had undiagnosed strabismus which was identified by our international adoption pediatrician from her referral photos. We accepted the referral and brought her to a pediatric opthalmologist within a week of bringing her home. She had surgery on both eyes shortly thereafter and the strabismus is now more or less corrected (she'll probably have to wear glasses). Not that huge a deal--who doesn't wear glasses these days? My point is, get her to a recommended doctor specializing in strabismus shortly after you get home. Very important to correct it as soon as possible. <BR/><BR/>Best wishes and blessings to all of you!<BR/><BR/>Lynne and Ed<BR/>DD Amelia, age 2 1/2, our greatest joyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997268695110159994.post-73428314546812935022008-09-04T00:40:00.000-04:002008-09-04T00:40:00.000-04:00She's just darling.
