Specs and Health

2 handsome Milligan boys in their glasses

my cute boy

Our adorable, handsome boy got his glasses today. We only realized about 2 weeks ago that he was seeing very differently out of his eyes. One eye was normal and the other one was lazy. (You would think his teacher would have caught this before now!!) Anyway, after a routine eye check at the pediatrician for his well-visit, they advised us to follow up with an opthamologist. So, we went to see Nick's eye doctor, who did an extensive exam of Bradley's beautiful brown eyes. After 2 hours and an unpleasant eye dilation, the dr. determined that Brad would need to wear glasses. He may end up having to wear a patch too, but we'll know more after a month's adjustment to these cool, new glasses. Brad has handled this like a champ and hopefully will adjust very quickly to wearing his specs.

As for the well-visit, it was past time for Rachel to have her 9 year check up and Brad to have his 7 year check up. So, we knocked them both out in one day. We are sooooo thankful to have 3 very healthy and growing children. There were not any horrible, painful shots for anyone this day. But, there was a very unpleasant finger prick for our needle-sensitive son, Bradley. All in all, the visit was great and the kids are happy and healthy.

Here are our growing children's stats:
Rachel- 91 lbs, 54.25"
Brad- 53.75 lbs, 47.5"
Trent- 38 lbs, 41.5" (from his well-visit in May)

We are so blessed to have such precious, healthy children and are thankful for them every day!
