While we were at the hospital in Detroit two weeks ago for my daughter’s evaluation I saw a poster with that phrase. I’ve been thinking about it ever since. My husband and I have vacillated between action inaction when it comes to my daughter’s eyes. We knew something was wrong and we trusted—still trust—the advice from the doctors we’ve been working with, but it’s been tough to know what path to take.
It’s been hard to watch my daughter’s vision situation get more dire and not do anything. At certain points we have taken action, but it feels like a lot of waiting and watching something be lost like a rock falling out of a boat adrift on the ocean.
I hope we’ve acted enough and when it was most important.
The Big Boy Update: I got to talk to my son on the phone yesterday after not seeing him for two days. He said, “if I had a super power I would come through the phone and give you a big hug.”
The Tiny Girl Chronicles: My daughter does not want us doing anything with her right eye involving visual eye tests. This is mostly because—I think—she doesn’t want to discuss it. She exclaims loudly, “I can’t see!” when you try to tell anything. I’m going to need some Dhruti advice on how to talk to her about what vision she now has in that eye.
