Day Three Hundred and Thirty Seven
Yesterday was a tiring and stressful day. Alex had to go to the doctor’s office to get his eyes checked out. He’s been having one cross in a bit and we got worried and made an appointment. Turns out we were right to do so. He has Estropic Strabismus with resultant Amblyopia. His particular case indicates glasses and if they are ineffective, surgery. Now that is not a fun word to hear in reference to your child! Both he and Luc were little angels in the doctor’s office. Two and a half hours and only in the last five minutes did Luc get a little fussy. They played together, were nice to the other kids and were generally adorable. It was still exhausting though, because adorable or not, they are so energetic! Luc ran down the hall about 500 times and I chased him 500 times. He giggled uncontrollably and I managed to be patient even on time number 500. I’m proud of myself for that, but I did break down when we got home. Crying for my poor baby, my tired self and our hungry bellies. Jared ordered in pizza right away and a hot bath helped make it all better…also a bit of old scotch around 10.
So that was my day. Tomorrow, look for my list of books for 2009. Exciting stuff.
