Eye Appointments Update!

I know it's been awhile.  Summers are crazy busy around here and we just came off a great week of Backyard Bible Clubs with the students.  We're exhausted but it was really really good.
In the midst of the craziness, we've had 3 eye appointments in 6 days.  All 3 of my guys had an appointment and they're all doing super well.  We're so thankful.



Carson sat SO still to have his pressures checked today.  We've learned the secret to eye doctor visits with babies:  A hungry baby and a full bottle. :)  She was able to get a good look at his eyes and check his pressures.  He's still glaucoma free and we don't have to go back for 6 months. (yay!)



Kyler is still off drops and his eyes are super stable.  He's so good at his appointments too.  Actually I think the eye dr appointment might be the most still you'll ever see him.  He's looking great and the doctor said there are no promises and glaucoma is super unpredictable, but theoretically his pressures could be stable for a long long time. (Praise God! and keep those prayers coming)

Conor is off drops in his one eye and the doctor is super impressed with how well it's healing.  His eye looks so much better than it did 6 months ago - no more irritation and pain.  He's really doing great, and can see better than he did before the surgery.  We just bought him some really cool rec specs so he can start playing sports again soon.  (I'm sure you can imagine how thrilled he is about wearing them, but it's just too risky to go without them)



And just so as not to leave her out: Darby had her 4 yr old appointment a little while back and has finally past 30 pounds haha!  She's such a petite little thing.  She still misses her old friends and talks about them often.  The other day she said, "Mom, Austin is almost perfect."  "Almost perfect?"  I asked.  "I just miss my old friends.  If I could see them it would be perfect."  Ugh break a momma's heart.

Praise God for good reports for all 3 of my guys!
