Captain Camron

The week before we went to the beach, the little boys had an eye dr. appointment. For those of you who don't know, they have seen an opthamologist since birth due to ROP (retinopathy of prematurity) and Camron is extremely near sighted in his left eye. At their appointment, Caden was released on an as needed basis (praise the Lord for that!). Camron, who has worn glasses since 7 months old, did GREAT on his vision screening. The best he's ever done (praise the Lord for that!). He also is wearing a patch over his stronger eye to make the weaker eye work harder. We got some of the sticky patches at the dr.'s office to wear under his glasses. He likes to choose his patch each morning. A friend from church also sewed batman fabric and Duke fabric over a "pirate" patch which is great if he needs (or just wants) to take the sticky patch off before his "time's up". I also ordered one on ebay (which we haven't gotten yet) that hook onto his glasses. We'll see how that works! Anyway, I just wanted to share a picture of Camron wearing his patch! He is doing great wearing it! I took him shopping yesterday to get a reward for being so "big". He tells me every morning when he's choosing his patch..."Mommy, my eye is getting STRONGER" and he holds up his arms like he's showing his muscles when he says it! ADORABLE! You'll notice in the beach post that he and Caden are both wearing one..Caden just wanted to wear it!
