6/1/12 Eye appointment

Rate this Entry
Ethan went back to the eye doctor for a check up (he had his eye surgery on 5/3/12) and it went great. They said his eyes were straight as an arrow. He will still need his glasses as he is farsighted, but he doesn't seem to mind wearing them now. Now that his eyes aren't trying to correct his vision themselves, he will go get his glasses and put them on. We haven't had to use the strap to keep them on. Well, we still do outside so he won't lose them if they accidentally fall off. But it was good news. All is going well. He got some foot orthotics this week, too. Lots going on. The look like plastic little half shoes that he wears inside his regular shoes. They keep his ankles stable and help his balance. He doesn't fall nearly as much when he is wearing them. Hopefully they will help strengthen his legs and ankles too. We also got him to bite some french fries. He spit the pieces back out immediately but he did bite them with his front teeth about ten times. Christa finally lost one of her teeth this week, too. She was very excited. Ethan was amazed at that.

    What wonderful news to hear his eyes are straight as an arrow!! He will get use to the glasses as time goes on and he is adorable in them. It sounds like with him going and getting them and putting them on, he knows he needs them to see better. Hope the orthotics help too. Biting a french fry is a wonderful start....so proud of him. Maybe next time, he will let the french fry linger before spitting it out. The tooth fairy was at the Howard house, so cute! I bet Ethan was amazed with that. Have a good summer!

    Thank you. The tooth fairy was a big deal. Ethan kept looking in Christa's mouth to see the gap where her tooth fell out. When she told Ethan the tooth fairy left money under her pillow, he kept looking under his pillow. It was funny. Maybe he will hold the fry longer. Anticipating that time but enjoying the moment. Thank you, Maria. I think about you and Jade often. Your encouragement means the world to us.
