Just over 2 months ago, we came home with a little boy who carried with him a list of health concerns and labels... - Scoliosis
- Heart problems
- Adenoid problems
- Sleep problems
- Strabismus and probable retina damage
- Poor vision
Two months later, here's where we stand...
- No apparent scoliosis
- Heart murmur is 'completely innocent' and no cause for concern
- His adenoids are perfectly fine
- He's going to sleep without much effort, and sleeping for 10 - 12 hours a night (plus a 1 hour nap most days)
- His strabismus is almost undetectible and there is NO retina damage
Shortly after arriving home, we found out that our local America's Best has an optician that speaks Russian. One of those great God-ordained moments!
While we went to a specialist for Daniel's eye exam, we went back to America's Best to order the glasses. When we arrived, we were pleased to find out Gen - the lady who speaks Russian - was there. Daniel was shocked when she began speaking to him in Russian! She was sweet and so very helpful.
I took Daniel back on Tuesday to make some additional adjustments, knowing that Gen would be there. She was helping a customer pick out frames, but upon seeing us, she occupied the customer with another section of frames to peruse, and came to see us. She got Daniel's frames adjusted perfectly, and talked to him a bit to determine if the glasses were helping his vision (and it seems they are!).
Having said all of this, I'm so thankful for our Great Physician: for totally removing most of the concerns that we were first presented with, and for putting people in place to help us with the things that needed to be addressed. Our God is Healer!
