Prayers Answered!

I'm sorry to have kept many of you in worry, waiting over the weekend to hear how Trenton's eye doctor's appointment went last Friday. Since the results came out negative (I'll explain more momentarily) we proceeded with our plans to go to the lake with Kevin's family and I'm just now back from the lake and able to have computer access.

The testing at Emory resulted exactly in what we were praying for.....a perfectly healthy boy with just different size pupils. The first eye drop exam ruled out Horner's Syndrome and Trenton had further testing through second eye drops (to dilate his eyes) to confirm that his eyesight was not effect from the pupil variation. We are happy to announce after 4 hours of testing, everything is fine and he was diagnosed with Anisocoria. Anisocoria effects 20% of the population and all it means is that your pupils are different in size. We appreciate the opthamologists at Emory taking care of our sweet baby boy. They were so good placing the drops perfectly in the wiggleworm's eyes on the first try. Then, they were extremely patient while our little boy burned off energy in their office and waiting room. He loved their castle playhouse! Finally, exhausted from a long day at the doctor, Trenton fell fast asleep in Mommy's arms making the eye exam to ensure Trenton had normal vision a piece of cake. It is amazing that the doctors can do it even when a person is fully asleep. I will say, I know a sleeping baby made that part easier! They were probably appreciative themselves! We closed out the office and heading out after a long, tiring day, counting out blessings all the way down I-75!

Thanks for your prayers, emails, and calls. We have amazing friends and family looking out for our precious little boy, and we are grateful for that! We especially want to thank Opa for taking the time to go down to Emory with us to help out. It was nice to have you there for support.
