Another Impromptu Doctor Visit

These pictures just make me laugh, so I thought I'd share them:) Holland has been wearing her eye patch on alternate eyes for 3 hours a day for the past 6 weeks. We have an appointment tomorrow with the eye doctor to see how things are going. I can't say that I see a difference since our last visit. Her eyes don't seem any worse, but they don't seem better either. She does not cross one eye more than the other, which is good news. She just doesn't seem to be using both eyes together. At the last appointment the eye doctor said that Holland's eyes are actually almost straight and the problem is very mild. They appear to be crossing more than they actually are because of the way her nose is shaped. I read that this is more common in babies of Asian descent. We'll see how things go this time. I'm curious to find out if her vision has gotten any worse, and if she is going to need glasses anytime soon...

Today I had to take Eden to the doctor because she woke up this morning covered in a red rash. I have been sick with a fever and a sore throat since Sunday, so I was afraid that it might be a strep infection. Turned out to be no big deal. She has hives. No idea what may have caused them, but they sure are bad to look at. They don't seem to bother her at all and she was in her usual good spirits today, sticking her tongue out, blowing rasberries, and kicking on the cold table at the doctor's office. Funny girl loves everything...except eating...

The pictures of the girls always make me smile, but after a long day at work these made me laugh out loud. I'm sorry to hear about Eden's rash, but am glad it doesn't seem to be bothering her too much. Give them both a HUGE kiss from me. Love Ya All, Liz
