Update on Dr's appointments...

On Thursday we went to see Dr. Mike for a follow up concerning Wyatt's vision. The Dr said Wyatt's eye has improved greatly. At our first visit in June, Wyatt's left eye was lagging behind a great deal, and was not in the range that they would have like to have seen. At this exam it tested within range, and was catching up to his right eye. We have been told that we can go from patching 2 hours a day, down to 1 hour a day and he wants to see us again in January. We will wear the glasses as he will allow, we learned the glasses are not a visual aid, but part of the process to help strengthen his eyes. Lots, and lots of answered prayers with Wyatt's vision!!!!!

On Friday we went to see our pediatrician for a well check, and he also said that Wyatt looked really good, and that Justin and I should be proud of our accomplishments. I wish we would have put on more weight, (18lbs 13 ozs. so we are still rear facing, and Dr Raley said in Europe they keep the children rear facing until they are 4 years of age). Dr. Raley says his weight gain is within normal range since we have had him. He was not concerned that Wyatt is still not walking we are making great progress, and we can tell each week he is stronger, and stands more independently, and with more confidence. We finished our exam by getting 3 shots, and we are going back for 1 more shot in October then Dr. Raley is finished with us for 6 months. Unless, of course we need him due to an illness, or injury.

I need to share a story with you about Saturday morning. I was watching Wyatt while Justin was taking care of something in another room, and I was letting Wyatt crawl around our bedroom/ bathroom ( which is a rare treat because we always play upstairs since it is Wyatt proof) he had my socks, and was throwing them, scooting with them, and just having a good time with my socks. It got quiet, I got worried, and so I went to check on Wyatt. Any guesses as to what he was doing? He was dunking my socks ( both of them) into the toilet!!!!!!!!! He was loving it......... And then Daddy came in and said, "Thanks for washing mommas socks".

Wyatt and I will be flying back to Lubbock tomorrow, unless hurricane IKE makes it impossible.
