and we did too, we will show you some pictures. No they are not round like marbles, they are shaped more like a shell, concave. The conformers were too, but it was almost impossible to take a picture of them since they are clear.
Ivey's eyes come out. I take them out with a little blue suction cup or she can pop them out herself. She has not attempted to take them out yet. I wash them with soap and water and put them back in.
We don't mind sharing these pictures because we have all been curious about Ivey's conformers and prosthetics at some point.
My favorite part of Ivey's new prosthetic, she sleeps so peacefully. She can sleep with her eyes completely closed for the first time since she left the NICU many moons ago. No more little knobs sticking out.

Confessions from the mind of this sleep deprived mom navigating the world of complex medical needs, deafblindness, and special education. And y'all, it may not always be pretty, but it's real, and it's always for the love of Ivey.

I am so happy for Ivey. It has been awhile since I have commented, but I have been stopping by periodically. I missed her milestone and I am sorry for that. Her eyes are beautiful!!
How interesting! What a blessing that she sleeps so soundly with her new prosthetics. :0)
Made me smile BIG to think of sweet Ivey sleeping so peacefully now. Some well deserved sleep for that little one.
How lovely for Ivey to be able to sleep with her eyes closed with her new prosthesis!
