Day 279

Today was yet another eye doctor appointment for Andy. This check up was to see how his patching was going and also it was his yearly exam. It was also Aaron's yearly check up as well and while Aaron is free from having to wearing correct lenses for now, big brother is still working on the patching, but his left eye is improving. Today we got the story book room instead of the pirate room. It's a good thing there are toys and they get to watch videos because we were at the office for nearly two hours.

Day 187

What a handsome little fellow! He's my handsome little guy too. This morning we went to the eye doctor once again to follow up on the eye patching. We have been patching his right eye in order to strengthen his left eye as he can not see small objects long distances. Unfortunately, the patching isn't working as well as it should and then next step is to try the eye drops that blur the good vision and make the bad eye work and strengthen. The bummer part about the drops is they cause light sensitivity and being the fact that it's summer, the doctor and I decided we would continue using the eye patch until his next appointment. I'm praying that the next three months of patching actually work and strengthen his left eye so that both eyes work together as they should. Andy has been such a trooper and I'm the one who's more frustrated about the whole thing, but I have to rely on God and His timing for my son.

Day 125

Today is Andy's birthday and what better way to start off the day than a visit to the eye doctor. Oh and we broke our glasses this morning too. Children's Eye Care is finally in their new offices and the room we were in had this really cool pirate mural. The boys loved the pirate room and ships to play with as well.
