Vision testing

There is a mandatory vision test in our state for school age children. I missed the dead line (oops!) and got a nice note from the school. Jamie set the appointment for Aubree. The appointment was about a half an hour before her ballet class. Annoyed, I told him to change it. He told me they told him it would only take 15 min. So today after she got home from school she changed for ballet and we were off. I figured it would be a short test, they would fill out the paper for school and we would be on our way to her class. When they started the test she was doing horrible out of one eye. It was like she had never seen a letter or a number. Mature Mom giggled a little out of shock. They tested the other and she did great. They continued tests for the next 1.5 hours and then said "Aubree you get to pick out some pretty glasses". The Dr. told me she would need to wear a patch as well. In my head I shouted NOOOOOOO! I did stay calm and said "oh cool Aubs, you get to pretend you are a pirate" She did not seem concerned. I was so sad just thinking of her possibly being teased. I already decided I would take her in her class the first day just for extra support. Then the Dr. said she will need to wear the glasses all day and the patch for 3 hours a day after school. I shouted YESSSS! Well not shouted but I was well enthused. Aubree just gave me the look of "you are weird Mom". I think as a Mom I worry about things that do not worry my kids. Another thing to add to my list of things to work on. I called Jamie and he did not believe me. He really did not believe me. I guess that comes from us being jokers in our home. We got home and I showed him the papers. He was shocked. She has like 20 vision in one eye and 200 in the other. She has never complained about it. Hmmm. I feel bad but the Dr. said not to. There was no way of knowing. So Aubree will have glasses in the next week or so! I will post pictures once she gets her glasses. I hope she never has to wear the patch to school now that showed a little too much enthusiasm when the Dr. said she didn’t have to. I wear all my emotions on my sleeve. Gotta work on that too :-)
