M's appointments have continued to be every 5-6 weeks. These images are very much a part of her life!
Her last 2 appointments she has charted at about 20/25 and 20/30. She seems to be kind of settling in between these two measurements. Since she has had 2 or so visits at about the same measurement, she is going to patch for another 5 weeks and then start on a patching reduction schedule.
Currently she still patches all day everyday. For her that is about 10-11 hours a day. She's awake about 12 hours a day.
I was asking about reducing her patching soon, because she is going to be starting school in September. Ideally, I would love if she didn't have to do any patching at school. So I'm interested in reducing patching hours, seeing if she can maintain the vision she has, and then get a patching schedule that is compatible with school.
Realistically, almost everyone in our town knows her, or has at least seen her. I don't know of anyone else in our area that is patching right now, or at least that we have seen. Plus, she has fielded questions about her patching from at least 60% of our town by now. I don't think school would be much of an issue if she did have to do some patching. I would just rather her not have that be a part of her school day.
Patching seems to be getting more difficult (aka more whining, crying, and fighting), so I'm hoping a reduction will help a bit! Just another few weeks, and maybe she won't be an everyday all day patcher!
