the Patch

Truth be told, I am not a fan of the patch.
The eye patch.
Bella's eye patch.
Those of you who have had to have this annoying bandaid thing cover your eye or convince your child to wear it on their eye for 4-6 hours a day know what I'm talking about. And those of you who don't can imagine, I'm sure.
Here she is wearing it on her birthday last year:


It seems like around this time every year we are told she needs to patch her eye again for a 6 week trial period to see if it will do anything to help her eyes. And it doesn't. But we do it anyways.

So here we are again, doing the patch to see if it will help her again.

Cross your fingers that this time it works so we won't have to do another surgery.

I know what you are talking about...I wore a patch over my left eye for about two years when I was 6. My mom bought stickers for me to put on them. It didn't make it alot easier to wear, but I remember getting excited to pick out the stickers everyday. Best of luck this time around!! Miss you guys!

I can't imagine. I can't even keep shoes or even pants on Aubrey. I hope it works this time.
