My New Challenge

Here we go, we are embarking on new adventure and challenge again. During our last trip to Albuquerque Brennan not only saw the retina specialist that he has been seeing for over a year but he also saw a pediatric ophthalmologist who checked his eyes and prescribed him glasses. The doctor told me that most kids do not like glasses and that Brennan would most likely fight them for a week at least. I made a big deal about picking them up from the post office, I let him hand the orange slip to the man and then let him carry his package out to the car.I explained to him that his cool new blue glasses were in that box. We came home and opened the box and he got to try them on. I made a fuss over how good he looked in his cool glasses. I am surprised at how little of a battle I have had so far but the novelty may wear off and then I may have more of a battle. I have tried to keep him busy and distracted today to help him ease into this new part of his world. I was dreading this so much but I know it is what is best for him and I am hoping that the glasses will improve his vision and help him accomplish what he wants to despite the disease in his eye. This has been an unexpected journey that our family has taken over the last year and a half.I am thankful for the awesome doctors that have helped our family and pray that Brennan may continue to improve.
