December 24-26, 2008 - Isaiah's Family notices an opaque glare in his left eye

About two weeks ago Isaiah's mom, Erica, noticed an opaque glare in his left eye. She didn't think much of it because it caught her eyes quickly and thought it was light reflecting. Today as we were waiting for Erica's Mom & Dad to arrive for the Christmas holiday, the opaque glare became prevalent for his us to notice. We talked about it off and on for the next day or two.

On Friday December 26, Erica called Isaiah's pediatrician and made an appointment for Monday 29 December. While the family was sitting around late this morning, Erica and I decided to take Isaiah to an urgent care clinic. We were starting to get concerned because the opaque glare inside Isaiah's left eye was starting to get worse. While I wasn't expecting to get definitive answers, at least having a doctor look at my child would settle my nerves. When the doctor finally looked at Isaiah he asked if he had had any head trauma in the past week - of course not. He prescribed some eye drops to alleviate any irritation, recommended we see an ophthalmologist or his pediatrician as soon as possible, and sent us on our way. The doctor did his job and calmed our nerves enough to get us to Monday.
