To See or Not To See...

That is the question...

Two weeks ago I got a letter from the kids school nurse, which said that Jaron failed the eye exam that they give at school-and it was highly recommended that he get his eyes checked by a professional. I made a appointment and got him in pretty quickly. Since I was headed to the eye doctor anyway I made appointment for Kallie, thinking I would kill two birds with one stone. (In my case the two birds ended up killing the stone.) All three of us went to the eye doctor. Kallie and Jaron were both excited. Kallie went back first while I finished filling out the paper work. Then they called Jaron back to get started. It was time to put the eye drops into Kallie's eyes, she did not want anything to do with that. The doctor asked and literaly was begging her to just do it and I joined in to with no success. Finally the doctor suggested that I get a drop in my eye so that Kallie would see that it doesn't hurt. So I bit the bullet and did for Kallie, it was the numbing drop. I knew that it does not hurt but when the eye is numb it does feel kind of weird, for 20 minutes my eye had a weird itch to it- but Kallie did get the eye drops. Jaron was up next, he was a little hestion to get the eye drop but he did get them (good thing they didn't ask me to do the other eye). Since they were doing the two kids at the same time the kids got a little wiggly. Which made the appointment seem longer and stressful. When I am at the appointments I always say that I am not going to schedule them all the kids at the same time, but just like giving birth I seem to forget the pain or stress and schedule them together again. Like next week they all have dentist appointments together.

The overall results from the eye doctor is that Jaron has to get glasses for reading. Hopefully that will make him stay more focus on his work at school. And Kallie is on the border so until it is worse will she get glasses, but for now no. As we were picking out glasses for Jaron she was sad that she couldn't get a pair for her.

...The next day at school. Jaron's eyes were dilated with heavier drops that made the dilation last longer over 24 hours. So he had to wear the sunglasses that the eye doctor gives you to school. But he rock those glasses and they looked great on him. It was funny with his eyes dilated you could only see like 1mm of brown in his eyes the rest were black. Coming Soon a picture of Jaron with his new glasses.
