For the past few years I have been dedicated to Becca’s eye sight. The first weeks of scary treatment with an inexperienced pediatric ophthalmologist, to fighting an American insurance company to pursue treatment “outside our network”, the fear of surgery, the eye surgery being canceled at the last minute due to a huge improvement, broken glasses … I was determined. Becca was a model patient. She, to this day wears her glasses always and without doubt.
This was all with the hope that maybe just maybe, the treatment would work. It doesn’t always work. There are patients that need surgery. There are patients that are destined to wear glasses for all the days of their lives.
Guess what!
Becca’s eyes are improving!!!!
Her prescription will be lessened this time!! Including the bifocal that she will still have but less strength!!! I was so thrilled that spending three hours with two sick, feverish children in a waiting room then bouncing to different exam rooms, then pinning Becca down to place drops in her eyes that stung like bees … so thrilled it was all worth it.
Both Ethan and Becca have a nasty cold. I had to wake Ethan and drag him to this appointment. Once again feeling like I was not being fair. Yet we survived the morning, all three of us exhausted, we collapsed for a long afternoon nap. I needed good news this week. It has been a challenging week full of tough times.
I am so hoping that Becca will feel better for tomorrow night!! Or will Halloween be spoiled? Are you ready for Halloween?

Wonderful news indeed. I am so happy for you! Hope the sniffles and snuffles clear up soon, although over here we are due for an unheard of ’soggy’ Halloween. This is the first rain we’ve has since……probably February so we’re a little out of practice.
Best wishes from me and mine to you and yours

Nah – you won’t have to skip Halloween – you’ll be able to at least hit up a few houses while the kids remarkably feel well enough. maybe that’s all they need – a few houses then you won’t have to smuggle as much junk out?
PS – great news about Becca’s eyes!

Hooray for Becca!
James won’t wear his glasses. I have to take him in to get them readjusted because he played with them so much that now they hurt. Fortunately, since they are for reading, when his eyes get tired I can simply tell him “put on your glasses or keep reading.” I’m so sympathetic.
I hope everyone is well enough for Halloween. Crossing fingers it looks like my wish has come true and it cooled down. Maybe even rain?

Something interesting about all of the photos of Becca that you’ve got… she has the most beautiful eyes and those glasses ALWAYS make them look so big and beautiful.
She carries everything off so well.
