Hannah passed her first ROP test today, showing that her retinas are developing normally so far. This doesn't rule out the possibility of it cropping up later, but they'll re-test every two weeks so they can jump in and correct it with laser surgery if needed. Amazing that they can test and repair such tiny little eyes. My thanks to all the poor lab rats that made these technologies possible, may they rest in peace.
The ROP test involved propping her eyes open and looking inside with a scope, and that's a lot of excitement for a 6-week-old. So we'll postpone kangaroo time until this evening today, to give Hannah some time to rest and recover from the ordeal.
