From Super Powers to Pirate Patch Time

For those of you familiar with Neil's Duane's Syndrome, you may have heard he had decided it was his super power. When he looks to the left he is able to have double vision to which he proudly proclaims, "I see two of you!" Well, we returned to the eye doctor today and learned that she is starting to detect a right eye dominance in his vision. She explained to him he is no longer allowed to use his super power, Ahh – kryptonite. The technical term for vision dominance is amblyopia of the left eye. So now we have to have Neil wear an eye patch over his right eye for two hours each day until we return to see her next month. The hope is to strength the weaker eye. We are calling the patches 'Pirate Patches', but Neil will be able to decorate them anyway he likes. Today he successfully made it through his 2 hours and only had to have the patch reapplied once.
