This week we had our eye checkup. Calvin's eyes appear to be fine. The drifting in one the dr. was worried about doesn't seem as bad as at our last visit. The drooping is not apparent. His vision is fine (not going up or down) and the concerns of a couple of months ago are gone. I am not sure if the itty bitty extra effort we are putting into getting his contact in and he patched for about 2 weeks at 15 min/day made that difference or if we are just lucky. And in my view, there's no such thing as "just lucky" -- really it means we are really blessed. I hadn't even realized that we were so lucky until Jessica asked me how everything went at the appointment. I am so quick to forget those major stresses, probably it is my way to cope, but I want to be sure to never forget to be thankful for the miracles, tender mercies and kisses on the cheek from God that we experience in our lives. We experience them so often and I am so thankful.
(I got the phrase kisses on the check from God from a great parenting book called 10 habits of Happy Mothers by Meg Meeker. It was one of my favorite parenting books of all time. It is not so much a parenting book as it is a how to be a great person so you can be a great mother book. I highly recommend it!)
A miracle indeed!
