We've had a pretty great few days.
Thursday all 3 kids had an eye appointment. They are very detailed appointments and take hours each child. Before we could go to the appointment, Gracie had to go back to the Orthopedic. Her leg was hurting her so bad and she was not walking on it. They had to put her in a full leg cast that is not water proof to keep the bones from moving which was causing the pain. That means I had to cancel their birthday party. Anyway, we had lunch and headed to the eye appointments.
The girls did amazing. I can't believe how well they did especially Madi. She actually did the best. Brody's test was very long and detailed- more so than the girls. Because of his visual impairments, they test the same thing several times but present it in many different ways to be sure they are getting the correct results. The verdict was amazing! He is still legally blind and probably always will be but the amount of improvement his eyes have made in three short years in amazing. His bad eye improved 700 points! That is huge! Now his eyes are closer together in what they are able to see meaning he will be able to use them together. He had not been able too since there was such a huge difference. To qualify as legally blind your vision has to be over 20/70 in your best eye. He is 20/200 and 20/260. We are waiting for his new eye glasses to come in. Can't wait to see how he does with them! He has to go back in 9 months.
The girls vision is what it should be for a toddler. I didn't realize toddlers don't see 20/20. Anyway, they don't need to go back for 2 years.
Ricky and I had fun on Saturday night. Aunt Michelle ended up watching the kids because Madison had something come up last minute. She had a lot of fun with them and sent me videos and pictures. We ate at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. It was good but we won't go back. It was old both the location and the clientele. We were the youngest ones by at least 30 years! Anyway, we had fun and were home by 9:30pm. Ricky got me a new ring!!! I just love it!
We took the girls to get their haircut yesterday. Their hair is so long! After we took them to get a cookie but Madi started acting up and apparently Brody had been acting up while the girls were getting their haircut so we came home after. Sometimes these kids act like "THOSE" kids!
Anyway, it's been a great few days. I decorated the kitchen with the kids' birthday stuff since we had to cancel their party. They LOVE it. Oh, we also took them to Toys R Us on Saturday. They got $10 each in the mail for their birthday and Toys R Us sent them a card with a coupon. They walked the store and picked out what they wanted, handed the cashier their money and coupon, and $130 of mom and dad's money too, we walked out of Toys R Us. How do you like that? This is why Ricky and I have no clothes or anything LOL
