Caitlin's eyes

So Caitlin has been having problems with her eyes while here, we went to the ophthalmologist and he said it is called amppe for short. Basically Caity has terrible vision in her left eye and has big spots of vision missing. You can see this in the yellow spots of her eyes below 


If you look near the dark spot on the left of the first and right of the second picture you will see yellow-y areas around it. This is the pigment change associated with it and apparently in 80-90% of people this resolves in 6 weeks with vision return in 6 months. So, in the meantime, Caity is a little blind! 

It is caused by having a random virus like a cold and just having the bad luck of getting this as a complication. Mostly in young females, our doctor says he sees one every 10 years or so. 

So, pray for her vision to return!
