Yet another ROP exam

Jac had his third ROP exam today. The opthalmic doctor said Jac's left eye was less developed than his right; and though the eyes are showing progress of maturing, they are still premature, and that another exam is needed in eight or nine days. The good news is that the eyes appear to be progressing at a normal rate, and there is nothing unusal/alarming.

The ROP exams are probably some of the most uncomfortable things that Jac has to endure while he's still in the hospital. He was quite unhappy during the procedure. He calmed down fairly quickly afterwards, but it was clear for the rest of the day that the exam tired him out. Hopefully, he'll have rested and recovered by the same time tomorrow!

I'm crossing my fingers that the ROP exam next week will be his final one.
