Pray for the Patch

Molly had an appointment with her pediatric eye doctor in Austin yesterday. Things went well. Since she has been diagnosed with her eye condition 1 year ago, she has steadily been improving her bad eye. This time that had leveled out, meaning since her last appointment in September, things had not really improved. So.....we have to patch her good eye for 1 hour every day. He says she is not going to like it because her good eye is covered, so basically she won't be able to see much at all. But we have to do it to strengthen her bad eye.

Mommy: Molly you get to wear a patch just like a pirate.
Molly: No, I don't want to.
Mommy: It will be fun.
Molly: No, I never want to. I'm not.

Later....

Mommy: Come'on let's give it a try
Molly: I have a bad feeling about this


She wore it for a while last night but said she couldn't see. This morning she woke up not wanting it again. I explained to her that she only had to wear it for 1 hour, that's like 2 Doras! Not to school, not around friends, etc. Daddy suggested that she decorate her patch with jewels, etc. Good thinking Daddy! So we'll see how this goes.

Please say a prayer for Molly that she cooperates. This is important in her not having to have surgery on her eye and for her future use of her eye!

Have a great weekend!
