Welp. We took seven children to the eye doctor today. It was quite the thing, I won’t lie. Conveniently, Bradys job is nearby, and flexible, so he joined us and we went in as a group of NINE! Also conveniently, the place was pretty quiet when we got there. Not to say it stayed that way once we arrived, but we didn’t disrupt many others, haha!
Everyone’s vision is quite stable, which is awesome! A couple of prescriptions changed, a couple did not, and some glasses had been through more than others. So. The breakdown is like this.
Dekker and Laela both had new prescriptions, and therefore needed new glasses.
Rowan prescription stayed the same, but his vision is improving! Thanks to this, the doctor met him in the middle with the things he struggles with in terms of his vision. This means a bit more glasses time and less contact time. Aaaaand fewer patching hours!! Rowan is THRILLED, and I’m also pretty happy. The reductions are small enough that I still feel like we’re moving forward, but big enough that Rowan feels validated and seen. Win win! With that said, he will keep the same glasses, since they have very little wear.
Solly’s prescription is stable and doesn’t need changing, but his glasses are pretty beat up and need replacing.
Waverly’s vision is awesome, and she doesn’t need glasses! Yet, haha! Who knows what will happen, but for right now, the eye doctor fed Wavy’s ego by telling her she’s basically perfect, haha!
Babies are glasses-free! For the time being, anyway. One will likely need them later. One probably won’t. And both of those options work great for us, however that looks! We are not afraid of a little one in glasses. We’ve done that before.
All things considered, it was a successful appointment and afternoon. One kid will go back in four months. One in six. And most in a year.
I’ll show you their new glasses when they come in. Because I like the suspense. And also because it all happened so fast and I don’t have pictures 😂 I have this one, though.
So. You’re welcome.
