A Traumatic Experience (Elana's Dr. Visit)

I updated the title to read Traumatic vs dramatic.  I think it sounds better.  Plus with dramatic you'd expect Elana to recite Shakespeare.

Angie went to the eye doctor.  She is referring Elana to a plastic surgeon for her eyelids and eyes, possibly.  I don't know if she will ever see.  There is a window of opportunity for a child's sight to develop.  Those early years or months are crucial.  When Angie had done research on Elana's condition, she found that is very rare and that children are not usually born with their eyes fused shut.  It was probably caused by a chemical getting into the eye.  One thing that we have noticed is that when we give her a bath, she gets really upset.  It's like the water scares her.  Why?  If a chemical liquid had gotten into her eyes and she remembers it, it may be the cause.  It is too bad she can not tell us what happened to her.  We found out that the white film over her eyes is scar tissue.
