How Doctors Turned A Beautiful Baby Girl Into An Even More Beautiful Baby Girl. This Is Great.

When this little girl, Emma, was only six months old her parents noticed something was wrong. It looks as if she is just making funny faces, but there was an underlying condition. She was basically born with crooked eyes and her pediatrician was unable to diagnose her at 3 or 5 months. So, they began on a journey to correct their little girl’s eyes.

The pediatrician didn’t think that the condition would be permanent, thus the lack of diagnosis.

As the months progressed (4 months)…

Her eyes didn’t correct themselves (5 months).

Finally, at 6 months, her parents knew something needed to be done.

At 8 months old, she got her first pair of glasses (which were adorable).

She looked quite fancy at her baptism.

“Because the pediatrician failed to see her strabismus earlier on, she developed a lazy eye. She has a big preference for her left eye and will use it whenever she can, so we had to patch it in order to force her to use her right eye.”

At 14 months she was getting pretty used to her life with glasses.

And finally, the day of the surgery to correct the esotropia-strabismus.

After the surgery, Emma’s eyes would have felt like sandpaper. She was pretty upset (and it was pretty heartbreaking).

Finally sleeping with mommy.

Her eyes were sensitive to light at first, so the nurses gave her some pink star glasses that she loved.

Now, Emma’s sight is much better and she doesn’t require the patch or glasses for now. What a cutie.

Congenital esotropia is a type of strabismus that appears within the first 6 months. The reason Emma’s doctor might have overlooked the diagnosis was because in the first months of life, it is common for the eyes to intermittently become misaligned. However, if that misalignment persists, that’s when you should take your baby to see pediatric ophthalmologist. Source: Reddit We’re so happy Emma’s surgery had a happy ending!

Twitter war: Axelrod vs. Romney

http://twitter.com/#!/MittRomney/status/181173095506251777

Just a few minutes after Mitt Romney’s tweet, the former senior advisor to President Obama began “correcting” (in his opinion) Romney. Here’s the graphic Romney posted to his campaign website (which is where the link above will take you):

And here is the response from Axelrod:

@MittRomney @barackobama Wrong, Governor. When this POTUS walked in the door, he was handed a trillion $ deficit and epic economic crisis.

— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) March 18, 2012

@MittRomney @barackobama And the unpaid tax cuts and increased defense spending you've proposed would add 5 trillion to the debt.

— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) March 18, 2012

As we have called for before, these two need to debate it out. Not Axelrod, but President Obama and Romney. It would make for one interesting night.

After tragedy, Michelle says Barack will take to dance floor; Update: Canceled

http://twitter.com/#!/CuffyMeh/status/379701761176399872

Tonight, as we mourn the 12 people murdered today at the Washington Navy Yard, Michelle Obama has a message for Americans:

http://twitter.com/#!/SalenaZitoTrib/status/379703922359042048

Priorities, baby!

First lady Michelle Obama said that the president “will shake his groove thing” at a Latin music concert being held at White House on Monday. Gloria Estefan, Ricky Martin and Romeo Santos are among the artists lined up to perform.

All they want to do is dance.

http://twitter.com/#!/CuffyMeh/status/379701169943105536

And all we want to do is hurl. This is absolutely shameful.

Surely BuzzFeed’s Kaczynski has something to say about this, right?

http://twitter.com/#!/Stephe96/status/379705241366966272

Ugh.

http://twitter.com/#!/Ziggymarleygosn/status/379707450741751808

So do we.

Update:

Looks like the First Couple won’t be shaking their groove things tonight after all:

http://twitter.com/#!/ZekeJMiller/status/379719991853322240

Wise decision.

Conservative California commentator Inga Barks: Let the puns begin

http://twitter.com/#!/jerry_wilson7/status/177998832846639105

Goldfish and Clowns:

If you happened to tune in to Mark Levin’s radio show today, you might have momentarily thought you’d gone to the wrong station when instead of the great one you heard a honeyed, soothing and unmistakably feminine voice. Right station, different host than usual as Levin took today off while winging his way to California, where tomorrow he’ll be giving a speech at the Reagan Library for some lucky folk. Standing in for him today was, coincidentally, a resident of California named Inga Barks. I hope you listened, because if you didn’t you missed living proof that not all in the Golden State have bent the knee to liberalism.
