Rachel got glasses! After struggling with writing we went to a developmental ophthalmologist who did some test and found Rachel is mixed dominant. Pretty much her brain hasn't chosen a dominant side yet to function with so it is struggle between the two. She uses her right hand to write but her left eye is dominant, which causes a problem with her eyes working together. She should out grow it in a year or so. She is also farsighted and the glasses should help her with both problems. The first day she was excited to get them but after waiting 10 days for them to arrive she lost that and didn't want to wear them. Now that it has been about a month I she does a much better job of wearing them at school everyday and puts them on when I ask at home which is great. I can definitely see an improvement in her school work all around and she is doing awesome! Her teacher even wrote a note that her handwriting has made a big improvement! Way to go Rae!
Kylie and her great family were so awesome and wanted to encourage Rachel to wear her glasses like Kylie does and brought her over a pair of glasses for her doll so their dolls could match them! Such a fun idea! Thanks so much guys, she really was thrilled about it and is doing really good at wearing them now with no fuss about it! Mission accomplished!
We are so proud of you Rachel! You are doing a great job at school and you look beautiful in your glasses! I love to see you happy Rae! Keep up the great work and happy smiles!
