Well, color me confused too. I haven't been able to read messages

lately, because Carolina has been in the hospital once a week the

last few weeks. But I wanted to check on Corbyn's CT eval since

Hillary wrote to me about Lorenzo.

Hillary, I would get a 2nd opinion about Corbyn's eye. Lorenzo has

epicanthic folds, and surgery has never been mentioned. Epicanthic

folds are not uncommon. Asians have them. Downs syndrome, fetal

alcohol children, etc. have them. Sometimes they happen for no

apparent reason. Lorenzo saw a pediatric ophthalmologist because it

appeared that sometimes his right eye turned in. Sometimes the

folds, combined with a flat nasal bridge make it appear that the eyes

are crossed when they are not, so Lorenzo was fine. I've known Downs

children with severe epicanthic folds and none of them have had

surgery.

I would recommend that you visit an ophthalmologist and get his/her

opinion. I don't really understand how a helmet would benefit the

epicanthic folds. The best picture of Lorenzo's eyes are in his file

in the Before and After section.
