Today is a sad day. I lost my dad to colon cancer 4 years ago today. I HATE CANCER!! I miss you so much Dad!!!
On the DS front, Addy had her 6 month check up with her ophthalmologist this afternoon. Dr. Pierce is so awesome, I am so glad that I took her to him for a second opinion since the ONLY pediatric ophthalmologist in Springfield just kept telling me that Addy was farsighted since she had DS and she would always be farsighted and she would be hard to fit in glasses since she doesn't have a nose bridge. Nice huh?
Anyway, Addy was too darn cute during the evaluation. Naturally, since Dr. Pierce is a man!! His favorite part of the eval was when his assistant was behind him with a stuffed Elmo that was singing the alphabet and Addy was signing the alphabet with him. It was awfully cute!! He was amazed that she could sign the ABCs! She obviously doesn't form all of the letters correctly but she sure tries! Anyhoo, Addy is getting new lenses she is more farsighted than she was in May and needs her script to be doubled!!! Hopefully they will be in next week. He does think that will make another big difference for her since she is so farsighted, even though her current lenses do help, just not enough.

Sending peace to you today as you are missing your dad.
As for Addy,you know what I think of those glasses of her's ... too precious for words.
Hey Cammie, Would you mind sharing what Addy's prescription is for her lenses? You can drop me an email if you want... We just got a new prescription too, and it's causing her some frustration. Got a call in to the dr, but I'm curious what others numbers look like. :o)
(((HUGS))) for you Cammie...
