June

June brought us our newest family member……Our great nephew Blake.   I was honored to be asked by our nephew to be in the delivery room.  Since I had Keegan by C-section and John and Kristina are adopted this was the first time I have ever seen a baby born. It was beyond words! What a miracle that is. 

We started eye therapy for Kristina.  We knew when she came home that she had a lazy eye but after she got a new set of glasses (third eye exam since being home) with a new doctor ….he told us she was not seeing anything out of her left eye.  He suggested eye therapy.  So we are patching, doing drops, wearing a contact that makes her good eye blurry so she has to use the lazy eye.   She started out only seeing the big E on the top row of the chart….we are now seeing four rows down on the chart.   The new doctor is quite impressed.  We are pushing really hard over the summer so that when school starts she won’t have to wear the patch to school.  But for now…..it is working well and we will continue full speed ahead.

Keegan got a job at Cellular One Field (Old Comisky Park) – where the Chicago White Sox play baseball.   He seems to really like it a lot.
