My baby is almost 7 months old. She was born with out an eye and had
a small eye socket. We are doing Hydrogel Expanders. THey put under
ansthetic and insert this expander and stitch it in place. it then
absorbs tears and stretches the socket. Then every 6-8 weeks they
will remove it and place a bigger one. I dont know if this is
something that might help your little one or not. My baby has a web
page it is www.caringbridge.org/ne/missmadison. Madison's air way is
small and it is very hard to intibate her. We have some VERY good
anesthiologists here! i really like the two that we have had do her
surgeries at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. THey
have experience in difficult airways! I hope this helps you out. If
you have any further questions you may email me. I would be glad to
give you some names of people to contact about this procedure here in
the US. If that interests you.
