It was inevitable......

Tanner and Jayla are wearing glasses!

It really isn't that surprising since both Dan and I wear them (well contacts mostly). Aren't they cute though? Their prescriptions are about the same, and isn't very bad. They really only need to wear them to see the board at school. But, they are both so excited to have them they want to wear them all the time. I've told them that pretty soon the "newness" will wear off and their ears will start hurting and then they won't want to wear them anymore. :)

Don't they look so studious!

We got the call Sat. that they were done. Dan got new glasses as well. It was a good thing the kids wanted to go get them right away. Here is the story.... as shortened as possible.........

Dan woke up on Sat. morning saying his eye hurt. It was watery, pink, and hurt. So we thought maybe it could be pink eye. We just thought we'd wait out the day and see if it got worse. It felt better to wear his contacts, so we thought that maybe his eye was just scratched a little. We went to our ward Christmas breakfast, and it just kept getting more swollen and red. When we got home and got the call from the eye Dr. that glasses were done, the kids wanted them so bad, and we left to get them fitted and take them home. Once there, Dan asked them what they thought was wrong with his eye. The Dr. examined him. He has a puncture hole right in the middle of his eye. The Dr. said "get those contacts out of your eye immediately!" She said that his eye looks horrible and that if this doesn't get taken care of he could loose his whole eye. WOW! We left with a prescription for antibiotic eye drops and the Dr.'s home number with instructions to call her if the pain got worse or if white spots appeared in his eye and to go immediately to the ER. She called us later that day to check in with him, and just wanted him to know how concerned she was because she didn't want him to go blind or loose his eye or need a complete cornea replacement. THANKS Doc! Way to make us feel better! He was putting his antibiotic drops in every half hour all day. Then Sun. we woke up and his eye was neither worse nor better, but the Dr wanted us to call her regardless. She wanted us to meet her at the office so she could just check his eye out. We drove there and she checked him out. She said that his eye looked better, and that she was relieved. She continued to tell us that she was so worried because with these problems he could loose his sight and eye within a matter of days and they wouldn't be able to do anything about it. THANKS AGAIN Doc! He has another appointment today, but already, his eye isn't nearly as swollen nor as red. So we're hopeful that he will not loose sight or his eye.

He was trying to think of when he could have punctured his eye. He thinks it was when he was wrestling around with Jake. He remembers getting something in his eye, but nothing that seemed traumatic. Jake has good aim, whatever he did.
