5/20 Update

Anya has had a great couple days recently. Happy, smiling and
giggling. We started her on Zyrtec (per Dr. Mom's request) and it
really seems to have helped with her allergy symptoms. We're tried
other antihistamines in the past with out success but this one seems
to be helping.

As some of you know, we had some nerve racking news last week where
are new pediatrician thought she noticed cataract developing in both
of Anya's eyes. The good news is we have a very observant and
thorough pediatrician. The bad new is she was right. We went to a
pediatric ophthamologist today that confirmed it.

Here again there is good and bad news. The good news is that he does
not believe it is currently affecting her vision although we will find
out for sure next Tuesday when they do a PEV exam
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_evoked_potential ). The bad
news it that the cataract is located in the worst possible spot,
center posterior. Being located here disrupts the vision the most.
If they get any larger or if we find out on Tuesday her vision is
impaired, she will likely require surgery.
