Lilah had her monthly check up with her eye surgeon. 

I get anxious every month before her appointment. 

I worry they will say "no progress this month."  

Those words make my heart sink.

We discovered her lazy eye right after her 2nd birthday, but what we didn't realize was how terrible her vision was. Lilah is legally blind in her right eye. Her doctor explained that if we don't correct her vision by age 7 she will likely be blind in that eye for life. Thus, we're doing all we can to correct it. We patch her strong eye so the weak eye has to work. 

AND

Today we got great news!

Lilah's vision and lazy eye has made continual progress. Today we got the go-ahead for new (WEAKER) lenses in her glasses. We get to patch 8 hours a day vs. 10-12 hours, and we'll see the Dr. every other month vs. every month. 

This news made me smile.
