Starting a diary to hopefully have grounds for a medical trial

Comment Published at 17:1617:165 comments5 comments131 Visits131 VisitsReport
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

Good luck
Sounds like perfect treatment and therapy.  I love swings. LOL.  I hope that this does work, it will bemuch nicer all round for everyone if it does.  Am curious about the rationale and the connection between middle ear and eye.  It sounds about right because everything in the head is interlinked and stuff.  How awesome is that though?  Put him on the swing and he gets vast improvement.  Amazing!!! 
I hope that you are diligent in the diary and that this truly does work long term as well.
Peace

I wish you and Codi all the best with the swing treatment for Codi's eye treatment. Hope everything goes well for him.

Btw, once I had tired eyes when I was still working (too much time looking on computer), and I went to eye specialist and she said I need to exercise my eyes by looking far objects then close objects. Lucky that was helped me.

Great that helped, come to think of it, the swing does goes far and close, so this may help with exercising his eye.
