Nicholas

I updated my blog the other day with the story about Nicholas's eye appointment. I'm too lazy right now to copy & paste it but the gist of it is Nicholas is going to need surgery to fix his eyes =( Glasses just wont cut it any more and the patch is not an option because of his bouts of severe head pain. They are hoping to have him booked within the next year to have the surgeries started he'll need two, one per eye, and then patching or glasses to fix the vision issue in his one eye.

On the upside Nicholas has been discharge from NICU follow up and is now NICU alumni, so we now get to go to all the alumni picnics and get togethers!

Hugs Liz! Finding out that your child needs surgery is a huge bummer! Hopefully they will get his eyes corrected and his vision will be terrific! Think of it as a blessing, b/c know you atleast 'know'. Easier said that done, I know!!!

Congrats on now being an Alumi. We went to the NICU reunion for Parker last year, and he even won a prize! :P

Joshie has had surgery on his eyes 2X!!!( at 9M & last summer) let me know if you have any questions....it's tough watching your little one "go under" but just think how perfect his eyes will look & his vision will be great too!
Good luck & keep us posted!
