Four eyes are better than two!

With mixed feeling we learned about a month ago that Patrick's vision wasn't so hot. He failed a vision screening that the kindergartners got at school and we made him an appointment with an ophthalmologist last week.

Both Yadira and I were pretty surprised, we honestly had not really noticed there was a problem. Before he had the doctor visit we did some rudimentary testing at home and figured out, holy "cow", he really can't see things clearly at a distance at all. I guess that is why he had been sitting close to the TV (although it seems like all kids do that).

It turns out that his vision is 20/60 without glasses. He would fail a vision test for his drivers license. It took a while for me to come to grips with it (him being so young), but after some thinking and prayer I realized that it is really no big deal. If him needing glasses is all we have to worry about then we are fortunate indeed.

Well, the little monkey got fitted tonight and voila...
