Doesn't her little pig-stick on top look cute? I had a lot of guys compliment me on it today. They must not like the head band look.Church was chaotic today. I should rephrase that and say the last couple of days have been CRAZY! Mike has been working late hours and with me being tired because Ruby hasn't been sleeping very well I think I might go insane. Friday (the 5th) Emily had a follow up appointment at 1:00 in the afternoon. I thought the day would be fine because Mike was going to go with us and so all I had to do was get through lunch and then I would have some reprieve. All morning long I heard, "MOM! Mordecai's feet are on me." or "Mom! Emily's feet are on my square of the couch cushion." and on and on and on. I was done, and so glad to be.
Emily's eye appointment went really well. I thought we were going to hear that we had regressed since I wasn't so diligent in the patching area the last 2 weeks because we had swim lessons, and visitors galore. They checked her vision this time because her glasses broke all randomly two weeks ago and they said if we had to get new lenses now would be an ideal time if we were going to get new frames. I was surprised to hear Dr. Nichols say that her vision had gotten a tad bit better in the left eye, and that with Mike being so near sided that she has a real good chance of not needing glasses by the time she gets to the 9-13 year old range. We are going to continue patching Monday's and Wednesday's for 4 hours for a while just to maintain where we are. He also said that once Emily hits 9 years old that whatever her eyes are doing alignment wise will stay that way because they will be "set". So hopefully we can stay where we are, because we are in an awesome spot.
Emily also picked out a new set of frames, they couldn't fix the pair she had because they no longer make them. She looks real intelligent in them. Again they are the most expensive of all the frames they sold, another 'Juicy Couture' label. I know a lot of people think that we are crazy for not making her get a less expensive pair, BUT she is really good with her glasses and she would have kept the old frames had they been fixable.
Last night (Saturday) we did some house work, and then later that evening spent time driving around to find an after hours care for Emily. She has been complaining about her mouth when she chews and swallows. I first thought it was her top 6-year old molars that were bothering her since they are swollen. Later I was noticing her whine when she would drink. I decided to look in her mouth and I could see that her throat was red and swollen. They did a strep test since Cherstin's kids have been here and they said it is going araound. The rapid test came back negative, but are sending away for the longer one.
Today sometime are stream of visitors continues. Phil and Hannah and their 3 boys should be here sometime this afternoon. Emily and Mordecai keep asking when Orion is going to get here, so I hope it is soon.
