Ricky took Brody to an eye doctor appointment today. This was the first time we've seen this doctor and let me just say, Ricky really liked her and it takes a lot for him to actually like a doctor these days. The doctor said his laser surgery was done really well and that he probably will never have full peripheral vision in his left eye. She wants us to patch his good eye 3 hours per day to strengthen the left, weaker eye. She sent Ricky home with a brace type thing that will hold Brody's arms down during this 3 hours patching so he can't mess with the patch and is really forced to use his vision in that eye. I'm actually very excited about it because it is really hard to keep him from taking the patch off.
Gracie ended up sicker than a dog yesterday. Her fever went from 100.3 to 101.4 within an hour and that was with fever medication. She also had a rash on her face. They thought it could be Fifth Disease (which is just a virus) but the rash was not rough so they were not certain. She seems to be fine today thank goodness! They say when they get the rash, it's the end of the virus. This is the price we pay for going to church. When they are in the nursery with the other kids, you can bet at least one will be sick.
I'm down to 38 assignments left for this nightmare of a class. I've been up until 4:30 and 5:30am the past couple days. I'm so over it but I can do this... at least this is what I tell myself all day everyday!
If you picked up on Ricky taking the kids to their appointments the last couple days... it has been great! However, he still has yet to take all 3 anywhere by himself... I'm working on fixing that soon :)
