A little concerned

Today I took all three kiddos into the doctor. Blake had to get a check up on his toe, all better. Rylee had her 4 year old check up and was good and healthy weighing in at 39 lbs. Oh and Blake was 47.9 pounds. Little JD had a 5 month check up. His stats that I remember were 16 lbs and 26 inches! I asked her for the percentile, but I forgot to get the stats before I left!

Anyways, on to my concern....Little JD might have some sort of eye problem. The doctor is sending him to a specialist. Now, most people who read this know of my own eye problems, so this is the reason for my concern. When we found out about my blindness, I was in the 3rd grade. They say I was born with it and cheated on all my eye exams in kindergarten-2 grade (whatever, I still don't believe that!) Anyways, I have had many trials due to this poor (poor is a generous word for it) eye site. I am unable to drive, which in and of itself is the hardest trial I have ever had to go through. Just think about it, I can't go anywhere unless I walk there or I have to rely on someone else, which is not only a pain to plan but quite embarassing. Anyways, I wouldn't wish this trial on anyone, especially my own son. I hope and pray everything is ok.

When I get down and things, I try and look at the positives:

1. Walking everywhere allows me to lose weight. Had a baby 5 months ago and weigh less than when I got preggo :0) I have to walk Blake to and from school, going to parks etc.

2. Very humbling. I have to humble myself almost on a daily basis to ask for help

3. I am thankful. I do have some sight so I can see all the important things in my life...My sweet husband, my adorable children, friends, family etc.

I hope JD is ok. As mom pointed out, "If there is something wrong with him, at least we caught it early." They always told my mom that if they caught my eye problems early, the outcome might have been different. Guess we will never know...All I do know is, I look forward to the resurrection where I will be perfect :)
