For all of you out there that have been praying for Reagan...
Yesterday was Reagan's eye appointment at Geisinger. I was nervous as to the outcome due to the fact that our summer was so messed up and going here and there that I wasn't as faithful with the eye patching thing as I should have been. After waiting for an hour to see the doctor we were taken into the room. We were sitting there waiting (again) and Reagan pipes up, "Hey, why don't they turn on the TV? This poor kid is tired of waiting." He paused, while looking around, and then said, "Looks like they're going to torture me with all this equipment!!" You just never know what he's going to come up with next. I laughed and laughed even more when a few seconds later the nurse came in and turned on Nemo for him! Not sure if she heard what he said or what.
About 10 minutes later the doctor came in. He turned on the monitor where the letters/pictures were on, looked at Reagan's chart and put it to where he had been at the last visit 4 months ago: 20/400. He had Reagan read it and then continued to click the pictures smaller while having Reagan read them to him. He did so without hesitation clear down to the smallest picture available. WHAT?? I looked at the doctor as he turned around in his chair to stare at me in utter amazement. He said, "That's 20/20!!! I wasn't expecting that good of an improvement!!" I could only stare back at him and say "wow!!". Seriously, inside I was jumping up and down crying and praising the Lord for this!! He checked him again and it was the same result. The instructions now are to patch 4 hours a day for 2 months, 2 hours a day for 2 months and 1 hour a day for 2 months and then he'll see him back. If his vision is still 20/20...he'll be done with the patching!!
We walked out of the room and went to the elevator. As soon as I got inside I looked at Reagan and said, Well thank the Lord for this miracle. Reagan looked at me, threw both arms straight up in the air and said, "Well praise THE God!" I think I laughed the rest of the way home!!

That's awsome news Gwen. I always worried that his eye problem started after his fall off of my bed. I'm so glad that he is doing better.
Great! I like this little guy. I am going to miss him shyly asking for bubble gum after church services.
