A Series of Lasts...continued...

Yesterday daddy and Rebekah went to the eye doctor. As a result of the radiation Rebekah has had one of her lenses and the guts of one eye replaced with plastic. As plastic doesn't grow or change shape over time there was lots of speculation as to what kind of surgeries the future would hold for her in making this eye continue to see.

Almost miraculous Rebekah's prescription has not changed significantly enough to even require new glasses. The doc wrote us a new prescription but stated that we probably didn't need to bother filling it until/unless she needed new glasses. She continues to see between 20/30 and 20/40 out of that eye uncorrected. Quite a difference from the "likely to be blind" that we were "promised" 6 years go.

Rebekah sat through all the testing so well. She listed to instructions and even more importantly she followed them all. When she was done she got a cookie from the cookie jar the doc keeps and she was a very happy little girl. Afterward she and daddy (and a friend of daddy's) went out to eat at Red Robin as her special treat. Such a big girl she is becoming. Our big miracle girl.
