Starting a diary to hopefully have grounds for a medical trial

We went and saw the Opthamolagist today (Codi's eye specialist) and one of the outcomes was that I start diarising what we are doing with our observation that Codi's eyes get better and he learns to adjust them properly by himself whilst in the swing. I think I blogged about it before that our specialist was curious and excited. Lately, we haven't been so diligent with the swing treatment, and his eyes have gotten worse than when we were swinging three times a day his lazy eye was hardly noticable. So now we are going to track this observation of using the swing as a another tool in helping to correct the lazy eye condition and see if there is any substance to what we observed by chance when we started to put Codi in the swing. Apparently, it seems that there is substance to the middle ear playing a part with the muscles of the eye and movement, which the swing movement (our specialist mentions) maybe have some link...fingers crossed.

So I will be reporting over the next 4-6months on the results of the Swing Chart I am making up today...

TRACKING
*How often his is in the swing each day
*How long each swing goes for
*% improvement of eyes during the day

Hoping to highlight any relation between the swing and his improvement of his eyes over 4-6 months...then we may be able to recruit other parents to conduct the same thing and see if it works for them too...you may like to try and let me know...
