We noticed some time ago that Stevie seemed to be developing a squint. I know, yet more stuff to contend with!
However we went to the Orthoptics and Opthmamology specialists today and it seems that Stevie has underdeveloped muscles on the outside of his eyes so that when he looks from close to long the muscles do not pull his eyes out from the close quarters position very well.
He copes well but his eyes "hunt" for focus when looking distance. You can see the eyes moving quickly, almost flicking. There is a medical term for this, but I tend to speak English not Medical !!!
He is due another visit to Neurology here in Swansea for an MRI in November so the Opthamologist has requested an extended MRI to look for any other problems in the eyes physical structures, just in case.
Ho Hum!
Otherwise he is fine. We are in the process of bringing him off the Retigabine as Prof Kerr thinks it is not doing much good (see above!).
He is great my son. Here is a pic from our holiday in France, one of my favourites:-
