Changing a Young Life



Holy HANDSOMNESS! (Click for original post)

We just got Gabe's new glasses. At first, he didn't like the idea of having something "new" on his face. Thank goodness they are flexible (and thanks for not selling cheap stuff Paul, they are worth every penny) because they would already be broken. He took them off his face numerous times and as long as we don't talk about them a lot, he forgets that they are there.

What we've noticed: He is willing to sit further away from the T.V. which is HUGE! He used to always move closer until he was basically hugging the T.V. I seriously thought that it was just him being stubborn because Kierstyn wanted him out of her way or because he liked the idea of being close. I am watching him now move the glasses up and down as he looks to see which works better for him.

The first time we walked outside, he went to take some steps and was like, "whoa." They looked so different to him! Today he has kept them on much better! When we went to go get sissy from school, he was looking around and pointing at things far away and saying what they were. It was so cute! My husband and I both started crying last night when we were holding him on the bed with us. Why? Because we know that he can see and that his world will be so much better now! Paul,we can't thank you enough for what you've done for your sweet little nephew. You are amazing at what you do and make a real positive difference in peoples lives :)
