Joel’s Surprise!
Oops, I got a little side tracked last night and did not get this up right away. Last Friday at the eye doctors it was apparent that Joel’s eyes have changed. Previously, the doctor felt that Joel’s eye that is turned in would not be helped with corrective lens. However, things have changed over the last year and he now believes there is a chance that corrective lens could help. At this point he does not feel they will affect much change and that Joel will most likely still require surgery. Yet there is a small chance that the glasses will help and in that case is worth the effort if it were to mean we could avoid surgery or require less correction during surgery.
At this point Joel is very happy with his new glasses and seems to be adjusting to them well. He says they bug his ears and some times his face itches. Everyone has told him how handsome he looks. I think he is pretty pleased with them.
He has two pairs that are slightly different…
He took off his sweater to show that he changed his glasses. (He really is a cute little guy.)
Oh, Joel picked out his glasses himself, I wanted this to be a positive experience for him and decided I would let him pick them out. Once we got there I had a few moments of fear that he would pick out some crazy Elton John type glasses, but it turns out he has rather conservative taste. Whew! I think the second pair are my favorite ones. So what do you think of Joel’s surprise he is eagerly awaiting your comments!!

It's a great idea to have two pairs of glasses. Two of our boys have to wear glasses, and we are constantly "finding" them somewhere in the house. To have two pairs means that we can usually have one pair available to wear. Joel looks great with his glasses on!

The glasses look great. Aidan was very sad when the eye doctor told him he didn't have to have glasses as the rest of us Klassen's wear glasses. You did a great job picking. Cynthia

Oh well doesn't he look so studious and grown-up! I'm sure Joel will be a good and responsible little man and never lose his glasses though 🙂 I really like the second pair, they fit the shape of his face so nicely!
Jared had glasses at one time and for whatever reason took them off and set them on the bumper of the van and they were never to be see again! Personally, I was glad because I had begun to question whether they were really necessary and it seemed as though he was always distracted by looking through them if that makes any sense. But he would just stare off into space as though he had not wits about him. So I was glad to see them go 🙂

He looks great! (and great idea to get 2 pairs, you never know what could happen…)
My oldest son is 4 1/2 months post-surgery, with PFS as well, and still wearing a patch for his double vision, but the eye doctor did say that their has been enough improvement that he might be able to be helped with some prism glasses…
Praying for you and your precious son and family!
