Happy Fall Ya'll!!

Luke had his appointment with the optometrist/vision therapist today. I think it went pretty well, and I liked the doctor. She basically said Luke's left eye is so sore right now, we need to concentrate on getting that eye better. Then she gave me some exercises to do with him that will help him get better movement of his eyes. Since his eyes were closed for so long, we have to start with the very basic movement and go from there. She said just getting the basic could take weeks or months...pretty much like everything else with a brain injury no one knows, only time will tell. He is starting to get to be a little more like he was pre-surgery. After our appointment we went to Target. I let him pick out his Halloween costume by telling me yes or no. Guess what he chose...Superman!!! Quite appropriate I thought:) Tomorrow we go to the opthamologist. It amazes me how 2 doctors can give you 2 completely different opinions on things, so we will see what he has to say on how Luke is healing. I must say too...a huge congrats to Lynsey...the new Vice President at her school. We are so proud of her...she did everything herself...posters and speech. You go girl!

Fall is the season of bountiful blessings and giving thanks. Do me a favor, this week look around you at all of the blessings you have in your life, you might be surprised. Trust me, you never realize how some of the things we take for granted every day are the biggest blessings...until they are gone. I would give anything to hear Luke say, "I Love you mom," to see him walking out to parent pick-up at school, to see him outside riding his bike, to hear him talk about the wabbits, to bug him about doing his homework, you know it really is the little things that make life. Look around and realize how blessed you are, even in these trying times everyone seems to be in, then look up and Give Thanks. "Let us not become weary of doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9 Believe!
