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 [...]

We’re home again and man am I looking forward to my bed tonight!!! Joel is an amazing little guy, he did really well. There is a lot of not so fun stuff involved with being at the hospital, but he gets through it without much complaining at all. He is very sensitive about his port [...]
