This is the amazing journey of our two miracles. John Craig was born on November 30, 2005 at 24 weeks and 5 days gestation. He weighed 1 pound 8 ounces and was 12 inches long. John is a true miracle and an inspiration to all that meet him! Hope Amanda, our perfect little girl, is currently recovering from two brain surgeries to remove a 6cm mass from the center of her brain. Hope represents everything good in this world and she too is an inspiration to all.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29.11

Ahoy!

Well, after a VERY long eye appointment on Tuesday.......the doc suggested we patch John's right eye....2 hours a day! His left eye is still crossing in a little bit however, nothing compared to last year prior to his surgery.

Anyhow, he dilated his eyes to check if he was farsighted (or nearsighted..I can't remember which one.) I guess if you are severely farsighted, the surgery will not correct the problem....Dad, does that sound right? Well, it turns out that John is mildly farsighted so, we may try glasses in a few months or just go in for a second surgery (1 muscle this time opposed to 3 last time.)

So.....we play the waiting game. The story of our lives:)

Well, I guess that means it's sealed: John's going as a pirate this Hallowe'en.

Seriously, though, I hope the patching works and that the glasses, and more importantly, the surgery can be averted.
