Eye Update and...Do we have a "little gamer?"

Here's our "Sue Sue" it's like 11:00 a.m. she is still in her p.j's! But besides that she is wearing Brody's glasses he got from yet another eye Dr. visit! she put them on all by herself can you tell?
Here's our little man, giving me the thumbs up sign, and wearing his cool shades, his eyes are dilated under them! Well we got the okay from Dr. Smith, but we were still nervous about his left eye, because to us it really looks crooked and after a month hasn't improved. If anything it seems to be getting a little worse. So Dan took him to Dr. Seeholzer and the diagnosis was similar, but he told us there is a slight problem and sent us home with a Rx for glasses. he says the left eye is somewhat farsighted, so it doesn't see as well as the right, and since the right is dominant the left drifts in, he did tell us he doesn't work with kids very much so if the glasses doesn't fix it in 5wks he might refer us to SLC. We felt relieved that finally a professional had noticed it does drift. We were still concerned the doctor really didn't no for sure what to do, so we are going to go back and talk with Dr. smith to see what he says. So either we take him to a 3rd doctor who really deals with children and lazy eyes, or he gets glasses.
Brody was babysat by his big cousin Jade, and she has a phone you can play some really fun games, so after she left I remembered I bought this gamer when we were in Texas, it is just that little device there and you plug it into your t.v. it has hundreds of Nintendo games, like duck hunt, mario bro's,pacman, donkey gong, contra...etc pretty fun for us oldy goldies right!! any way I taught Brody how to use it and he is obsessed, he will totally be a gamer, needless to say the Wii or x-box will probably not be in our home!!

About time some doctor got on top of this! Jeez! What does it take to listen to people who see him everyday and notice somethings wrong! Well on a positive note...if you have to come down to SL for dr appointments, it will probably be the Moran eye center and that means hanging out with me!

At least you are doing all you can do to get the eye thing fixed! How stressful though to not know the problem. He is so cute!

I just sent you an invite for my blog, I made it private cuz we've got a lot going on. I'll be out in Utah in August, maybe we can get together.
