NO MORE...


PATCHES!!

Woo-hoo!

After 6 years of patching her left eye due to amblyopia and strabismus,
starting at 6 hours a day,
and 1 surgery,

Chloe
is
done
with
patching.

We are beyond thrilled.
After the appointment with her wonderful doctor today,
(Dr. J.)
we received the best news ever.
Chloe has regained almost 100% of the vision that she lost to amblyopia.
What a blessing!
Glasses are still necessary to make sure that her brain continues to recognize that her left eye is being used.
Brains are kinda crazy sometimes.
We are thankful for this outcome.

Sophie will be the next one up for surgery.
Dr. J wants to wait until her vision is as strong as possible before proceeding with corrective surgery.
We trust him.
Most of all,
we trust our God and Savior and are praising Him today.


Psalm 119:18


Open my eyes that I may see
wonderful things in your law.

    That is wonderful news. Absolutely wonderful. I know it has been a lot of work for you to keep the eye covered, get glasses, go through surgery, keep the glasses on...proud of you and Chloe and your whole family, and thankful to God!
