The Red Thread

Once our eyes have been opened we can't pretend that
we don't know what to do; for God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls
knows that we know and holds us responsible to act. Proverbs
24:12

Iris Cannot Be Stopped.....

The family went roller skating this weekend and all of the kids did great.  We had a blast.  Iris was a natural and did not stop taking laps for 2 solid hours.
Iris is such an amazing little person.  She has no fear of trying new things and usually succeeds with whatever she tries. If not, she works on it until she can do it.

Iris also had a doctor appointment this week and he thinks her vision is still improving.  Her vision is between 20/100 and 20/80.  Wow!  Melissa thinks the doctor is very surprised at her improvement.

We have noticed in the last few months that Iris has been closing one eye a lot and we have to remind her to keep both open.  Well now we know why.  One of her eyes has a tendency to turn in and this is causing her to have double vision.  Doctor did not think this would ever be possible with her low vision but with such improvement it becomes an issue.  She will now need another surgery to try and correct the one eye.  How cool will it be to have both eyes straight and improving vision.

In general news, everyone is doing great and we are very ready for spring.  We are slowly getting over the KU loss this past weekend.
