FIRST REAL PAIR OF APHAKIC GLASSES!!!!

Thanks to the generosity of fantastic friends and family, we were able to pick up Sadie's first pair of Aphakic glasses!!!  We drove to the clinic in Edina to pick them up over Joel's lunch break.  Drum roll please.......


 She loves them!!!  At the clinic she was staring at Joel, Emma, and myself with a big smile on her face.  Tears of joy came down my face - they've been coming all day!  
Admittedly, they are a bit shocking at first, since they are SUPER thick and magnify her eyes.  I have been familiar with this in pictures of other little ones online, but in my own daughter.....it was jarring at first.  But we're getting used to them QUICKLY since she has adapted so well and loves them!!!  She seems to be seeing things for the first time in months.  
Contact lenses are still the way to go, and we get that.  But temporarily, while she can't use the CL's after surgery, it's so nice to have a back-up.  Plus, if there's a day that we need to jet out of the house and can't battle the strong baby, then we can just try again later and still have the glasses so she can see God's good world.  :)  
Enjoy the pics!!!
