We have officially been patching for 5 years! WOW! Such a crazy thought! I did the math this week and we have done over 9 thousand hours of patching!!!!! WOAH!
I think that is something to celebrate don’t you!?! We have had easy patch days and hard patch days. We have been patching 6 or so hours a day since he was 4 weeks old! It really has helped his vision and I am so grateful for that. Its taken a lot of hard work, learning and LOTS OF BRIBERY!

YAY! Happy Patching everyone!
Love watching your story! Seeing how far you have gotten with patching, encourages our family every day!
I love these shirts and designs you are coming up with!!! Keep up the hard work!! We’ve been patching for 1.5 years 🙂
5 years!? Awesome! My son has been patching for 11 months now and some days are so hard! Love reading the success of others.
I hope you know how much your creativity with your little guy has helped other kiddos out there. Your shirts, coloring pages. Christmas ornaments, and patches have truly made my son’s daily patching (over 3 years now) so much easier!! Thank you!! 🙂
We are at three years! FB reminded us of our two year surgery anniversary!
You have SO MUCH to celebrate!! 5 YEARS!! YAY!!! We use a lot of bribery as well!! And I agree with you, you have good days and bad.. even after patching for SO long! Thank you for always being amazing, and my first go-to person in the “cataract/patching world” 🙂
5 years of patching?! That’s awesome! My recent 4 year old have been patching for about 5 months. Some days he patches so well, while others he is ripping it off every chance he gets! Love to show him pictures from this site so he can see other children who patch just like him!
We have been patching for 2 years now. Some days are easy and others a battle. Can get him to patch with distractions like and iPad, candy, or an outing. Thanks for your inspiration and consistency!
Congrats! My daughter patches 100% of the day due to an eye injury. She takes it like a champ! Your little guy is a cutie. Keep up the hard work!!
We have been patching for about 4 months… it’s so much better when we are consistent, and there are MANY stickers as bribes. Plus we have a children’s museum that makes an awesome distraction for him… 😁
