Well today was a crazy day and I'm glad the bulk of it is over :-) We had Juliana's dance class this morning, raced home to get Jacob off the bus, do potties, redress Juliana non-ballerina style, ate lunch, fed Jenna, piled back in the car (with not a moment to spare), and went to Jacob's last eye appointment for a while! Went in for about a 5-minute appointment, hopped back in the car and headed home (with various baby naps and bottles mixed in here and there...boy am I glad she can hold her own bottle nowadays!). Kinda grates on you when you GO-GO-GO and drive 40 minutes each way for a measly little 5 minute appointment...BUT I'm of course glad we weren't in the doctor's office for a lengthy amount of time either!
The doctor is happy with Jacob's eyes, says he is seeing great without his glasses and they are aligning really well. We are to bring him back in for a follow-up appointment in 4 months. He says there's basically a 50/50 chance that his eye will go in (the brain trains itself to use the other eye more, and after surgery it can slowly start going back because the brain continues to use the other eye). If that's the case, he'll have to continue wearing the patch again, and quite possibly have to endure another surgery. Only time will tell. Please continue praying, we'd of course love to not have him go through all that again!
More to come, in FEBRUARY! No more appointments for a while, I'm soooo happy! :-D

Glad to hear that his eyes are doing so well. I will continue to pray for complete healing without another surgery or more eye patches!
