Wednesday, September 1 we went to Iowa City for another 4 month MRI check-up. We got good news again that her MRI was clear and nothing to worry about. We are so happy and relieved for this news again. We spend the four months enjoying our time and focusing on school with Ellie but then the one day we have the check-up the stress and anxiety comes back. Then after good news we return home to more everyday things. Her next check-up is Sept. 16th at the eye doctor in Iowa City. We hope to find out her vision is almost the same as in her left eye so we can back off of atropine drops to a few days a week instead of every day. Her eye seems to be closing a bit more and keeping moisture in better because her eye doesn't get as red so often anymore. This is nice.
Ellie is enjoying school so far. She is in the combined first and second grade classroom with Mrs. T and Mrs. S as her teachers. We like her teachers a lot. The teachers at Price Lab care about the kids so much. It really gives us peace of mind to send her there every day. Ellie has spelling lists every week now. For her first week and test she got 6 out of 6 correct! We are proud of her because we forgot to practice her words every night except one. We have to get used to this home work stuff again.
Nathan is doing better also. He doesn't cling to me anymore when I leave him at Son Rise for daycare. He hasn't fussed or anything all last week. Also when I pick him up he is very happy to see me and comes running and giggling over to me. I think he's not in competition for my attention anymore since Ellie has been in school. He is sill his 2 yr old self with struggles for independence and telling us he's mad when he doesn't get his way. We continue to correct his bits of hitting or flinging his arms at us but his is typical 2 yr old stuff we will get a handle on.
We are all looking forward to Disney World in a few weeks. On the 12th we get to meet the other families and get details about the trip!
Ta Ta For Now!
