The Jones Girls

Today I took the girls for their follow up eye exams to see how Amanda and Miranda were progressing with their new glasses and to also get a full eye exam for Savannah, I want to get a 2nd opinion to make sure she really needs glasses.

Amanda is showing huge improvement with her glasses.     Dr. Fierson is hoping that the glasses will correct Amanda’s vision and then she won’t need them anymore.  I am crossing my fingers!! xxxxx

Miranda is also showing improvement but is still crossing her left eye.  We will need to patch her right eye (stronger eye) 2 hours a day while she is wearing her glasses.  This is to help her left eye get stronger.  We are doing this to get her optical muscle to get stronger to avoid surgery at all costs.    I have a feeling Miranda will be needing glasses for quite a while but the dr. is optimistic that the glasses are to correct her vision and cross eyedness too.

Dr. Fierson said Savannah’s eyesight has actually gotten better than last year.  He says she doesn’t need to wear the glasses and that they are too strong for her anyway.  He said most kids are farsighted and that it improves as they get older.  He feels the optometrist was negligent in prescribing glasses for Savannah and that it was a way for the optometrist to make money…grrrr…that really peeved me off.    All at the expense of my pocket book, my insurance company, and most importantly at the expense of my daughter’s eyesight!!

Maryssa doesn’t really need to wear her glasses so I am going to not have her wear them.  So now I am down to 2 girls in glasses and 2 girls not in glasses. 

We have a re-check for Miranda’s eyes next month on May 5th.  Amanda needs a re-check in 3 months.

Today the triplets had their first Easter party at Preschool.   I made cute butterfly snacks that were little goodie bags filled with Fruit Loops with a clothes clip in the middle to make the butterfly.  I also made cute boo boo bunnies made out of white wash cloths.    I boiled a dozen eggs because they were going to decorate and dye eggs today! 

Mrs. Darling had made everyone the most precious Easter baskets.   The kids got a glimpse of Easter bunny tracks that were on the playground!  They thought that was so cool!

I went to Savannah’s class and brought all of her classroom boo boo bunnies.  The kids were thrilled.   I spent some time with Savannah in her classroom today and she enjoyed having me there so much.  I really enjoyed myself too.  I helped her decorate her Easter Bunny art project.
