All About Eyeballs

 We've got some good news on the household's eyeball front! We headed up to Atlanta last month and had a follow up with Gemma's eye doctor. We were pleased to hear that her eye has had no change. That might sound weird at first, but it's a good thing because it means it's not getting worse! Her eyelid won't get better on it's own, so staying the same is what we want to hear! As long as we can keep that astigmatism from getting worse, we can move forward with our plan of surgery to correct the eyelid at 3. She's even doing well enough that her doctor moved us from appointments every 3 months, so 6 months! Yeah!

Onto other eyeballs... Sabe went to Fort Stuart for an evaluation to see if he was a good candidate for lasik eye surgery. He's got some weird thing in his one eye (that of course I can't remember the name of) that is causing some complications, but he got the green light. He's got a team of doctors looking over his file to figure out what the best way to do it is and then we'll have surgery date. Sabe is excited to not need glasses anymore!

Gemma is growing like a weed! She's already crawling and I to my astonishment last night, communicating as well! She's mimicking the sounds I make! I've never had a baby do that before so it was really exciting and makes me hopeful that we won't have speech issues with her. Her hair is starting to come in and is looking like it might stay brown.

Jamesen will be having his IEP meeting with the school system in just  short little bit. He doesn't qualify for much except the social stuff which is exciting. He wants to go to school really bad, so hopefully he won't scream his head off when I leave him like he always does with everything else!

Marcus is doing great and understanding a lot more of what I'm saying. I've noticed that with certain phrases, I've not had to repeat myself a number of times before he understands me anymore. Progress is great! Speech therapy and going to school are really helping! His sentences are a lot more accurate now days and he's just overall doing great. He does have a hard time with transitions at school, but he's doing ok other than that.

Thanks for your love and support!
