We've Got Glasses!

We picked up B's glasses yesterday. The tech at the doctor's office helped tighten them on his face and he didn't even scream. He sat quietly in my lap and let her tighten the frames. Yay!

He did the cutest thing once they were on his nose -- he smiled, he pushed them up and down, peeking over the rims, admiring his clear vision and brand-new sight. And surprise, surprise: he kept them on his face!!

Until we got home. I took them off for nap, but then he refused to wear them again the rest of the day.

But today (day 2 with our glasses!) he's much better and willingly wearing them. He wore them all morning and we just removed them for nap time. Wish us luck he puts them back on willingly after his nap.

We have to go back to the doctor's office tomorrow though because the frames are too loose and slide down his face a bit more than they should. Not entirely terrible but they seem a little too loose for his comfort level.

So far, so good. I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that the glasses correct his far-sighted-ness enough that the esotropia goes away and he DOESN'T need glasses or surgery and can live an easy life. And be a surgeon or a pilot or an artist or whatever HE wants -- without visual limitations or impairments.

Thanks for reading, and Happy Thanksgiving!
