We ate breakfast and headed to the Dr's appointment at Children's Memorial Hospital. They dilated his eyes and he only teared up and had a trembling chin at the 3rd set of drops. He played with blocks in the waiting room for 30 minutes while the drops took effect. He sat on my lap during both exams and only sat perfectly still with the choice of a spanking or sitting; he chose sitting. The Dr will see him again on Dec 6th but is pretty sure he'll need outpatient surgery in the next 60 days. His muscles on the lower part of his eyes are too tight and when he looks up his eyes sort of cross. We had to put these funky glasses on him so the sunlight wouldn't hurt his fully dilated eyes. He looked like he was seeing a 3D movie.
Da Da and JH played while I got caught-up at work after being gone a few hours this morning at the Dr. After lunch JH napped and Da Da and JH played at the park up the street. Once I was finished at work we did our 5 mile walk down to Belmont where I got a haircut while the stylist questioned me about the "adorable little guy" in the stroller. When he first started living with us I was hesitant to talk much about our situation; now just try and stop me. Maybe it's because I was unsure of how our family worked but now it's an efficient machine :-)
Dinner was effortless and JH and Da Da moved on to a new show until bedtime in 30 minutes. We're all pretty exhausted and are looking forward to a potential play date with Abby and her Dad's who we met at The Rainbow Families Meet-up on Halloween.
