Today we took the kids for their eye checkups. Katie has been seeing her eye doctor since she was five weeks old; Joshua has gotten periodic checkups since birth just to ensure that his sight is fine.
Both of them got great reports today.
Katie still has astigmatism in both eyes, and is nearsighted in her right eye. But things are looking fine, and the doctor says that her eyes seem to be more similar in color than they were before (she has had different colored irises ever since the initial bleeding in her iris at 5 weeks). Instead of every 6 months, we've now been cleared to wait a year to see the doctor again, unless we notice something else going on.
Joshua is apparently a bit farsighted in both eyes, and has a small astigmatism in both eyes, but not enough of either for further concern. So the doctor says he shouldn't need to see Joshua again unless we or the pediatrician notice anything else going on.
So, great news! I love reading the Bible story of the blind beggar to Katie and explaining how God has healed her eyes just like Jesus healed the beggar's eyes. Praise God for his healing and grace to us!
