I found out Trinity has perfect vision, Jeremy however needed glasses. He has severe astigmatism. If I waited any longer his vision would be pretty much gone. Is something I struggle with as well. Always wondering what would have happened if I had taken him earlier, feeling bad for not knowing the free exam at age 3 info etc. I want to send you a big hug and tell you Trusten is such a cutie with those glasses on! You did an amazing thing by sharing with all of us your experience. It lifted a big weight to know I am not the only one..know what I mean?Mommy on a missionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622757793784673186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-18061173383843451452010-10-07T14:45:44.137-05:002010-10-07T14:45:44.137-05:00You put it perfectly - going from thinking your ki...You put it perfectly - going from thinking your kids are invincible to realizing they're not!<br /><br />My one year-old just had a full eye exam today to see whether or not the shape of his head was causing his brain to put pressure on his eyes. The great news is it's not, AND he doesn't need glasses (I have TERRIBLE vision).<br /><br />Good for you for taking your kids in!

I felt like crying just thinking about your situation.<br /><br />This story makes me think about how, without God, we walk around blind and "in darkness," and often completely unaware of how blind we are, but then God corrects our vision (through the lens of Christ)! Little by little - not too much at once, 'cause our human "eyes" wouldn't be able to take it all in at once, but God seems to correct our vision with a stronger prescription as we grow in Him, making things clearer and brighter as we go. Maybe the Lord will make this experience a part of Trusten's testimony someday :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09988310605573945512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-51224735658429929872010-10-06T19:21:17.610-05:002010-10-06T19:21:17.610-05:00Just wanted to send you a big hug, sweet Grace!

Also, Trusten is a cute as a button in his glasses! :) And I have not taken any of my boys to have their eyes tested yet, so I am really grateful for this post as a reminder. I just never thought about doing it when they were so little... I guess I should have done so before now, and I am going to get them booked in this month!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399373153325849675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-15408379156592622010-10-06T16:36:22.714-05:002010-10-06T16:36:22.714-05:00Ack!

So here's try #2 :)<br /><br />My oldest son had the same experience - discovered at a regular doctor checkup that his eyes were HORRIBLE! (he was 7yo) However, it was so wonderful to hear him say - as we left the optometrist with new glasses - "Mom I can read that sign!" things like that over and over as we drove home.<br /><br />So although I miss his brown eyes "just plain" I'm so thankful that he can see now. Without glasses, his vision is all blur.<br /><br />And to encourage you, Grace, Jacob's eyes deteriorated quickly the first few years, but in the past 2 years (he's almost 13 now), his prescription has barely changed. So Trusten may very well be the same - they probably won't need an updated Rx near as frequently.<br /><br />Great post, Grace - thanks for sharing your heart :)Gwen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02094959197761222086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-49960675285498155812010-10-06T16:16:24.086-05:002010-10-06T16:16:24.086-05:00Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

They are then testing her for some other eye issues. You just feel like you did something wrong or failed them somehow.

I would always put her glasses on and she thought that I was just playing but they helped me see better. Anyway, I got glasses and my eyes would get worse every 6 months. In 5th grade I had bifocals to try and slow down the loss of sight. They finally leveled out when I was in high school and they haven't changed since then. I have "magnified" eyes in my glasses too! :) He is adorable and I understand what you are going through. <br /><br />Hugs!Jenileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904251437303606870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660714304160473392.post-13306929823030515522010-10-06T13:07:15.478-05:002010-10-06T13:07:15.478-05:00I can totally understand your hurt.
