The Verdict Is In, Nathan’s Surgery Was A Success!

March 19, 2012

Nathan had his first follow up appointment with his eye doctor last week, and after examining his eyes she said my new most favorite words, “No crossing at all!” Yippee! He has another follow up appointment scheduled for next month, so I’m still a little wary of calling the surgery a success (after all, there [...]
