All you miralces lovers will be overjoyed!! :)
Yesterday we took all the babies to their opthamologist appointment and they did all kids of eye exams on the kids. Each baby took it differently and oddly enough, Brooklyn was the most tolerant! :) She already has her glasses so she went first and didn't take too long. Then Brennan and Landon went in because they were in the stroller and Brooke needed to eat. The boys just hung out in their seats with each resident doctor checking out their eyes. They used lights, big toys, little toys, a weird noise thing all to see how their eyes responded and if they were tracking. Landon has always stumped us because sometimes it really looks like he's looking at you, but then other times you waive your hand in fornt of his face and he doesn't react. Brennan's eyes look down so much that it's hard to tell his vision too.
Then came the prescription part...
Oh my WORD! Brennan has -10 prescription in each eye and his retinas look much better than than the dr thought. Great news! Hopefully the glasses will help him want to open his eyes and look more straightforward. Next, Landon shocked us all! He has -5 in one eye and -7 in the other! He has the best prescription of all!! He also tracked the doctor, light and large toy! Not bad for a blind kid, eh?! :) God is SOOO good! In the Spring the doctors told us he'd probably be blind, deaf and unable to walk. Look how far God has brought him in a few months! He passed his hearing test (we'll find out more on the 30th), is kicking like crazy and can see!!!!! Miracles are just around the corner! I can't even express how THRILLED and thankful we are! It's so weird to have to worry about the basics of life - breathing, walking, eating, seeing, hearing. Lord help us remember not to worry about the basics, you take care of the birds and flowers and can take care of my kids!

PRAISE GOD!
How amazing! What little miracles you have. And, if I have it right it is time to say Happy Birthday!!
Such wonderful news for you.
I have to tell you a story about "seeing." The other week I bought a painting on impulse. It is a beautiful, bright landscape painting of an ocean view near here. When I was paying for the painting, I found out that the artist has quite a severe congenital visual impairment. I was stunned and you would be too if you could see the detail in her paintings. It made me realize that we all learn to "see" with whatever we have available to us. Your kids will do great because you make their world interesting and stimulating.
YAY!!!!!!
Amen...with cries of glorious Thanks!
absolutely amazing!!!
