Katherine gets great news at the eye doctor this week!

So we went back to the eye doctor friday. It has been two months since Katherine's surgery. Prior to the surgery she was wearing an eye patch to help strengthen her weaker eye. Once the surgery was over she was told she would still have to wear the eye patch. She was so sad she crawled into a ball in the chair and wouldn't look at her dr. It was so sad. So we came of with an incentive chart to get through the 8 weeks till the next check up. It has been a struggle most days...but she did it! And on Friday we got the wonderful news!

No more eye patch! Her eyes are aligned perfectly and her right eye tested the strongest it ever has for vision. Katherine just about burst when her dr. said no more eye patch. She was so happy. I had tears in my eyes! Hooray! And her glasses are too strong. She no longer needs bifocals. She has a stigmatism so she will need glasses for that. But that is all!

New glasss with one lens! That we can handle.Here is our pretty princess Katherine!
The reward she chose was baby bunk beds and a high chair. She is going to be helping Daddy build and paint them. At the Dr. she leans over to me and said "Mommy since I did such a great job maybe I should get a new baby to go with my bunk beds and high chair." Miss Smartie! Today Oma told her she could pick out a baby as her reward from her. When Matt got home from work, Katherine came running down stairs and said "Daddy, my wish came true. Oma said I could get a baby too! Isn't that wonderful?"
How cute! Thank you, Oma.

We will post pictures of the new glasses when they come.

Strike a pose!

We are so thankful that the surgery was a success! And that her eyes continue to get stronger!

Thank you for all your prayers! We are so blessed!
