Sweet Justin's New Glasses

 It has been 3 1/2 years now of every type of medical testing that our big boy Justin has gone through (along with our Wade as well, which makes it rough to have two kids go through this) He has seen his regular pediatrician, a cardiologist, a neurologist, a developmental pediatrician, and an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist, has had NUMEROUS hospital tests, MRI's, labs/bloodwork and more. All still trying to find out why our son has such severe speech and receptive language delays, and some doctors think he is on the Autism spectrum as well (but just not as severe as Wade is) but honestly who knows. His last sedated MRI that he had done this past summer, showed he had asymmetric optic nerves (which I guess they say can be common in kids who have developmental delays and autism) so they referred us to yet ANOTHER doctor, an Opthamologist which we saw about a week and a half ago. They wanted to make sure there was no deterioration of the eye or nerves. So we went in, they dilated his eyes, we sat and waited for 20 mins. the nurse came and did one test then took us into a room as we waited for the doctor. The doctor walked in and said "hi, your son needs glasses, I know that's not why you are here, that we are looking at his nerves, but its good you came in now" I was shocked, I wasn't expecting, that (even though maybe I should have because I am almost blind without my contacts and have a bad astigmatism) but I thought it was going to be another wasted appointment and the doctors weren't going to find anything wrong, well I guess in this case I was wrong. Justin has some vision problems AND a bad astigmatism. He also has one eye that dominates over the other, and the doctor said our goal is to get him used to wearing glasses all of the time, and in 6 months if the dominance is not better than he may have to wear a patch over his glasses to try and correct that (which ought to be fun). Justin is doing very well adjusting, he is very, very, very funny about routine and things being in place, so we think he will do well with wearing them, I just never thought my 4 year old would need glasses so soon, we tried a few pairs on and got to this pair which were blue and Justin was done, he ONLY wanted these blue ones and didnt care about any other glasses, he kept showing them to the ladies saying "blue glasses" it was really cute and we think he looks really cute in them :)
