My blind baby!

A long time ago! Well, about six months ago Robyn made an assessment of Meg that her mother and father had failed to see. Meg was in Robyn's kitchen and wanted to watch TV, but was eating.. Keeping her in the kitchen. She kept sneaking over to stand in front of the TV, and Robyn would send her back. Then Robyn, looked at her and said... "Stacey She can't see!" I said oh, she can she just likes to stand in front of the TV. Well, since that time Brent and I have observed Meg squinting at the TV and other things. Megan always likes to stand right in front of the TV. We finally got her into see the eye doctor and what he had to say really was a shock to me. I thought he would tell us she was slightly impaired and may need a slight prescription. Well, he told us that she really has a severe impairment. The poor child has very poor vision. She will have to have the thick coke bottle glasses. He showed me with some lenses how Meg sees and it brought tears to my eyes. Everything is blurry to her. We had one man at the eye glass shop tell us she has never seen the color red because it would be so blurred to her it would look pink. Meg had to have her eyes dilated and it was a nice warm sunny day... after we had a soccer game for Tanner and she was very self conscious that her friends would not like her big sun shades. After several hours of shopping with Megan and trying on many glasses and fighting over the fact it needed to have a barbie sticker on the front we found two pair of glasses for her. So 250 dollars later I am preying that the glasses we bought are a little less frightening than the picture below, and the lenses don't make her eyes this big?? We should have her new glasses next week, and we will be watching her really see for the first time!

I know your laughing! Make sure to click on the picture and check it out large... PRICELESS!

That's sad, but good you found out while she's still really young.

SAD! Poor little Meg! I'm glad you found out!! I sure hope she does okay with her glasses. I had glasses when I was really small, and it all turned out fine. I'm sure she'll look really cute in them!

You forgot to mention that my TV is 52" AND is only about 20ft. from the kitchen :)
