The waiting room was scattered with children, some with obvious eye abnormalities, others less apparent. I sat still, glancing at Adley who was sleeping peacefully in her carrier, while parents swapped stories of surgeries and progress. I prayed that wouldn't be us. I didn't want this waiting room to become familiar. I didn't want the staff to get to know us.
Once it was Adley't turn, the exam was a hard one to sit through, as most exams on children are. Watching her eyes forced and held open with retractors listening to my baby who seldom even fusses, scream mercilessly while Elyse frantically said, "Mommy needs to help Adley" while her panicked expression looked at Matt and I questioning why her parents were allowing this to happen. I calmly explained it was okay while two lone tears traced my cheek bones.
Finally the doctor turned to us and as he said "I think she's perfectly fine" my entire body relaxed and I was so happy to hold her. Moments like this cause me to be in absolute awe of the intricacy and complexity of our Creator's design. Truly miraculous, that is for sure.

| Her rash is fresh with ointment so it looks pretty bad, but aren't her eyes just gorgeous! ;) |

| She will literally sleep anywhere.....at least for now. |
