Doctor's Appointment Wednesday (No pics)
Ok, so you all know that Kolin is forever going to the Doctor for something. Yesterday was his 3 month visit with the Eye Specialist. Kolin has had 2 eye surgeries already and will most likely have to have at least 2 more in the next couple of years. So, we are on the 3 month cycle with the Eye Specialist to make sure that we are keeping up with all his Eye needs. Especially since the boy refuses to wear his glasses!!!!! I have tried everything for him to wear them, but he just will not do it!! Anyway back to yesterday. My plan was to take both Kolin and Karter with me to the appointment at St. Louis Children's Hospital, then after the appointment we could make a little stop at the Zoo and check out some of the animals!! BOY was I wrong! Kolin's appointment was at 10 am and we did not leave the office until 1:45 pm. Talk about cranky, hungry people!! We were all bears by the time we left!!! But, I have to say that it was all good news for Kolin and he was amazing!!! This was the first time that he could read the letters on the eye tests!!! Ofcourse they had to be really big for him to see them all the way across the room, but he actually knew his letters!!!! We were so excited!! and the doctors were very impressed!! We will keep the same lenses this time but we are going to try a new frame, one from specs4us.com. They are specially designed for children with Down Syndrome, so hopefully he will wear them!! But who knows!! So after a very long and tiring day at the hospital, it was home for ball practice! Kolin did not go to his, HE WAS DONE for the day, but Kailee and I went to her's (I have to go, I am the coach). We finally ended our day around 9:30 pm, with everyone exhausted. Let's hope today is a lot less involved!!
