Emma- Eye Dr. Check-up

It's been a while since we have been back to the eye Dr. to have Emma's Dermoid checked out.  It's been a little over a year since she was first checked, and had the MRI.  It looks like it has gotten bigger to me, but that could just be the fact that it is growing with her.  She seems to be bothered by it once in a while, and will rub her eye but don't think she quite gets why it feels strange.  I would imagine it has to feel like there is constantly something in the corner of her eye.  Annoying!  The eye Dr. checked her out thoroughly and found that there is no reason to do another MRI at this point.  From the tests she did, she could tell that there was no stress, or pressure building up in that eye.  She wants to see her back in six months for another follow up.  At that time we will discuss the possibility of another MRI, and the possibility/options to do surgery.  The Dr. did mention that she does not like doing that particular surgery because there are a lot of risks involved.  She wasn't trying to scare me, she was just trying to give me all the facts and possibilities.  She wants to explore every option before resorting to surgery.

I just had to add a super cute picture of her!!!
