Reflections on My Blogging Absence

Wow, I don't really know why it has been so long since my last post but upon reflection, here is a little taste of what we have been doing:

  • 2 Dr. Appointments for Mami

  • Eye Dr. Appointment...

  • Another trip to pick out glasses...

  • Dr. Appointment for Andres

  • Kids off school for Columbus Day - Family Day

  • MOPS

  • Thinking about updating blog

  • Sinus troubles off & on for whole family

  • Working on post placement photos/pages

  • Running around outside, playing, catching ladybugs

  • Working on shed - including first coat of paint

  • Picnics
  • Iglesia

  • Canadian Thanksgiving Meal

  • Fellowship with Friends

  • Plenty of time spent explaining that even though it looks sunny & warm, it is actually chilly outside because it is now the fall/el otoño


Well, here is our little lady who will be wearing glasses soon. We can hardly believe Claudia will have glasses that she will need to wear all of the time. We got a letter in the mail after she had a vision screening at school that said she needed an eye exam because they had noticed a problem with one of her eyes. We were shocked and slightly amazed because she already had an appointment 6 months ago - with a pediatric eye specialist who told us her eye health & vision were "perfect." So, I thought there must be some mistake. But, I still took her for another checkup. We found out that Claudia has Amblyopia just like Anji. She was prescribed glasses to work to correct this problem and hopefully get that bad eye working again (she basically cannot see out of one eye.) We'll go back again in two months to see if the glasses are working and if patching might be necessary. We are not happy about this problem not being identified in the first eye exam. We are very thankful for the vision screening that alerted us to this serious problem! Claudia's (very sturdy) glasses are on order and should arrive in about a week.
