We had our 6 week follow up appointment with Dr. Olitsky today. He confirmed what we already knew. Elliot's eyes are perfectly straight and he's seeing great!
We did notice the first week in August that Elliot had a red area on the inner right eye and it has a small bump on it. I emailed a picture of it to Dr. O and he said it was nothing to worry about. He confirmed today it is an epithelial inclusion cyst. It's harmless. Sometimes, they go away on their own. Sometimes they don't. It's not worth putting a perfectly healthy baby through sedation and surgery to remove it though, so we don't plan on it. Hopefully it will go away on it's own. If it doesn't and down the road it bothers him, I'll have it removed (when they are older they just use eye drops to numb it and do it quickly).
We don't have to go back for four more months! Ahhh, a visit to CMH just in time for flu and rsv season......
Here's Elliot & Dr. Olitksy:
