Brady came home after radiation today so I could let LD and Spoons nap. I packed up the Peanut (Ha! Packing peanut) and hit the road with Rowan to go back to the eye doctor! Of all the kids, he has definitely spent the most time there, with his initial vision score of 20/200 😳 At his most recent appointment a few weeks back, our eye doctor had decided to try a little tweak in his contact, and it had arrived, so today we went to go try it out and see if it made things better or worse. Conveniently, today was a glasses day for him, so we got to see that cute look for a little first before it was contact time.
He’s such a sweetie 😍
As it turns out, his previous contact was better, so this was something, but not the winner, and thats ok. Its always worth a try to have his vision the best it can be! With his contact in, his vision is up to 20/30! This is ENORMOUS progress from where we began 💜 I am SO thrilled. Another appointment in six months. We cross our fingers and toes that it can be the end of patching at that point!
We headed home in good time, but not early enough that I felt like sending him back to school. So as soon as we got home, he took off on his scooter and ran an errand downtown for me. Then he waited for the kids to get home, and once jobs were done, they ran outside to have a snowball fight, which they started doing when their cousins were over, and were SO enjoying. Then, Rowan asked permission to go delivery papers with his friend from school, and he had SO much fun!!
Ro was happy today, and we had a lot of fun together 💜 I love that boy.
Another day of work getting done around here. Some furniture was lovingly hauled up our treacherous stairwell. Babies were fed and dressed and played with. I sat and took breathers. I crocheted in the afternoon. It was a genuinely beautiful day filled with help and love and softness.
My mom brought supper, and we shared supper with the group. The kids played a rousing game of telephone as they ate, and the rest of us sat in the living room and tried to have a conversation over top of the loud bellows of laughter. It was honestly just so awesome.
Today was radiation fraction #5. 5/25. 1/5. 20%. However you want to look at it. It’s a chunk anyway, and I’m glad its behind us. Only one more month to go 💜
I am more than ready to tuck in for the night, though. Its time. It was a really lovely soft day with family, and now I’m ready for some comfort and rest with Brady. We are both so tired, but SO happy to be together with everyone. No regrets whatsoever.
