Thank you for your responses, we "are" having her seen by a Dr. that does not even come into question, my actual question was wether anyone had this happen with their kids.
Thanks
Heidi

Good Afternoon:

PLEASE KNOW!!!  I am not claiming to be a doctor around here!  In
fact, quite the opposite.  But, my inclination is to get her into the
doctor ASAP, if not Yesterday!  Just like Denise, I've heard of this
many, many times.  If her retinas are not detached, they could be
detaching.  But, my idea is, if you get her into the ophthalmologist,
he/she will tell you for sure either way.  Then you'll know for sure.
That's my advice.

Have a great day!

Bernie
