I got a call at work today.  It was a really inconvenient time, as there were tons of people in line at my desk that I was supposed to be helping, but I took the call anyway.  It was someone from the office that will do Buddy's genetic study to find out if he truly does have ocular albinism.  The eye-doctor said it would take six months to get an appointment, but we are actually going at the end of March.  I am so excited that we don't have to sit here waiting for so long.  Going won't change anything, except that we will know one way or the other.  Also, it occurred to me that if Buddy doesn't have ocular albinism, then we need to find out what is causing his symptoms, so I think this appointment is really important.

In other news, Buddy can see the mobile over his crib.  The mobile has little animals with lights in them, like paper lanterns, but made of plastic.  We knew he liked the mobile, but it plays music, and so that may have been what he was enjoying.  This morning when I left for work, I had to put him down in the crib, and it was still pretty dark.  My husband was unsure that Buddy could see the animals and lights from a distance.  When I laid Buddy down, I turned on his mobile, but it was set to music only.  I switched the lights on, and he immediately reacted--tipping his head back so that he could see the lights better.  I was so excited!
