I actually pulled all the funnier looking ones off the website - just to be dramatic and try and be funny. My blue humor (as my mother calls it) isn't always very funny;) but I amuse myself so that's all that matters;)
Shelley had an appointment today to check out her eyes and get fitted for her contact. The appointments went really well - she is a super patient! Dr. Nyong'o, the ophthalmologist, dilated her eyes and checked her right eye to see if the cataract had become more cloudy. It hasn't changed so they are not going to do surgery at this point. If the cataract becomes worse, more cloudy, then they will do surgery but at this point they will wait until she's older and an artificial lens can be put in. If it gets any worse then they will do the same surgery as they did on her left eye.
The contact on her left eye is so tiny! It looks different from adult contacts because it has a super thick lens part and then a rim around the rest of it (if that makes any sense-you need to see it...i'll take a picture one day and compare it with my lens). I have horrible eye sight and I wear a +5 prescription...well, little miss Shelley wears a +32!!! Can you believe it! I was shocked at the strenght of it and also so glad that they even make infant contacts that are that strong. Her prescription will change about every two months they said so it will come down eventually.
It's going to be interesting getting used to taking her contact in and out but soon it'll be as easy as changing her diaper!

her sight will continue to improve and once they give her lenses like mine it will be amazing! i am grateful every day for the blessing of eyesight!
I'm so glad that it is going so well. She is so cute! I imagine that was cool to just have her stare at you!
I love the little glasses!! She'll be a knockout in her new lenses.
I take it Tutu Shelley found the picture of the cute pink glasses? Good work Sister Bennett. Love the pink glasses...they are totally adorable just like our Shelley girl!
ive had glasses since i was about 2 1/2 or 3 and my mom said that on my way home from getting my new glasses i asked what the lines where between the power poles. i had never seen the power lines! she said i asked a slew of questions and she couldnt believe all that time i had not seen so many things. at least glasses have come along ways since my time. i had beer goggles forever and even had to wear a HUGE eye patch for along time. i'm sure she'll look super cute in her glasses!
