Today was Mia’s appointment with her own ophthalmologist, Dr. Scott.
Mia looks great.
Prayers were answered.
After a 5 day hospital stay, IV antibiotics then oral,
the antibiotics did their job of ridding the infection from her eye.
Dr. Scott went over the seriousness of her infection.
The only way to prevent such an issue again is to have surgery.
Both tear ducts need to be probed.
If her eye begins to seep and turn red she needs an antibiotic immediately.
We are praying for wellness and surgery when the time is right.
For now, she is getting ready to return to school after winter break.
I’ll keep you posted when surgery is scheduled.
Continued prayers for our girl appreciated.
I thought it was great when Mia was playing with the Etch-a-Sketch. She began tapping the screen as though it was an iPad. No honey, you have to twist these little white nobs to draw a picture then shake the Etch-a-Sketch up & down to make the picture disappear. The good ol’ days!
Haircuts for the boys in our house
Wayne and the boys waited WAY too long to have their hair cuts.
They use the barber shop downtown & they have been closed for the holidays.
They could not get in the week before due to Mia’s hospital stay.
Wayne and Tanner got their usual flat tops.
Not a cut you can just stop off and have anyone cut.
Marcus is a unique customer himself.
It takes Wayne & I both to hold his hands & comfort him during his cut.
From climbing up in the chair, putting on the cape then hearing the hair clippers turn on, there is NOTHING Marcus likes about a hair cut.
It’s sad but necessary.
It has not been the same since wearing the halo for 6 months.
He is hyper-sensitive when it comes to holding his head, the noise of the clippers and the little hairs that creep down his shirt & itch him all over.
Can you imagine?
We use the same barber & she is understanding to his particular needs.
There is NOTHING that soothes him better than his mommy & daddy holding his hands & feeding him pretzels through the whole ordeal.
I even sing his favorite songs to keep him distracted.
All hoping the barber would quickly get the necessary cut OVER.
Thankfully we don’t have to go very often, for Marcus’ sake.
But boy is he a handsome young man when it’s over.
See for yourself.
Marcus too is ready to go back to school tomorrow.
He looks so cute if I do say so myself.
Marcus looks adorable with his haircut! Of course I think he is adorable all the time:) Praying for all 5 of your beautiful children and also for mom and dad as well:) love you guys!
