If you look up "504 plan" online, you'll get a good explanation (I didn't know if I could legally copy and paste that info). Basically, it is a plan that the...
Hi my daughter has duanes in left eye. Never heard of a 504 plan before. Should children with duanes have a 504 plan. I have sent in a letter for her...
I think this varies from person to person. My duanes eye is also my left eye. I never required any educational provisions and graduated with close to a 4.0. On...
It is really a personal choice. The benefits of a 504 are that they have to be followed by everyone in the school (such as when your child goes to computer,...
My son was born with VACTERL syndrome and may have issues concering bowel/bladder continence. It's not an issue right now because he's only 2. I definitely...
Hi All My daughter has just received a date for her operation. She's not having MMR or VRT, it's more of an exploratory op to really see what's going on with...
I had my operation on Tuesday and was sighting at the San Diego Zoo on that Thursday, back at work by the next Monday. As long as she doesn't have to do the...
I agree. I was also out sightseeing the Day after and I flew half way across the Country the day after surgery with no problems. On Jul 3, 2009, at 8:55 AM,...
Four years ago I had MMR on a Thursday, and was back to work on Monday. I only had the patch on for a day. 2 days after the surgery I was fine. And that was...
Hi Debbie  Ditto for us. Emily had both her operations on a Tuesday and was back in school on the Thursday. You have to be careful to keep the eye clean - no...
thanks Carol. I really please with Mr Watts, I felt very safe in his hands. On the letter it says no food or drink for 6 hours before the operation. Do they...
Things may well have changed since our experience was over 5 years ago, but at the time the operations were done in the afternoon (starting at 1pm I think)...
Hi Shelley, I've just read your message about the botox injections your sons been having. Just thought this was really interesting as my daughter Ruby...
GEMMA Mr Lee told us the same thing too when Alex was younger. However, his eye worse. looking back if I had the knowledge I have now i would ask for botox ...
Yes, thank you for getting back to me. I take her to our local hospital every three months at the mo. because she is being closely monitered for the sight in...
HI Alex's eye now moves to mid line, but he does not have any further movement than that. I do know of others on this group whose eyes have movement since some...
Yes, this does help. Thanks, I will keep on at the docs and hopefully one day Ruby will be able to move her eye. Until then we just enjoy having a gorgeous...
I have bilateral duanes and I am also very short sighted, i.e. -6.25 R / -7.25 L. I have just been refused LASIK treatment due to my double vision problems...
hello, i am a 37 yr old female with duane's in my left eye (it does not move to the left.) i wear glasses for nearsightedness (i am unable to see far away -...
On Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:06:49 -0700 (PDT) Shannon Schreckengost ... It is quite logical to do the eye muscle surgery first before the Lasik. The Lasik will...
... Thanks Christoph, I am not considering duane's surgery at all, I have learned to live with the problems and most of time my brain switches off to the...
Hi All My daughter had surgery on Tuesday in which the Dr closely examined her eye and gave her some Botox. After the op she recovered very well thankfully....
On Fri, 17 Jul 2009 07:45:08 -0000 "debbie_vandrill" ... Botox is some sort of poison that paralyzes muscles. Thus, I assume that the eye muscles of your...
Hi Christoph Her surgery was exploratory, he actually feels she doesn't have Duane's as there was some resistance moving her eye during the surgery, therefore...
Hi everyone, I haven't posted for months, and want to thank Amy and Christoph for their quick and helpful responses to my first post. I hope everyone is doing...
Debbie - please don't panic. It sounds as if the botox has done what it is supposed to and it has paralised the some of the muscles hence the loss of...
Hi Just wondered if anyone was advised by their doctor on any king of statistics or the odds on how often the allignment surgery goes wrong - i.e makes the eye...
Thanks carol - I just panicked and thought I may have made things worst. Her eye is now moved past the midline point, so I guess that also good. Just now...
On Sat, 18 Jul 2009 07:38:20 -0000 "staceywoolnough" ... I don't know of any statistics. ... The risks are minimal. In case that the aligment is wrong, I tell...
