Second year Day 236 - Tuesday August 6, 2013

Today is my mom's birthday.  I sent some flowers and actually had them delivered yesterday so she's wake up to something beautiful.  The girls and I called and sang to her over the phone. One of our old friends from high school has been up in Whitefish visiting this past week.  We were hoping to get together today or tomorrow, but I actually was crashed this evening and went to bed super early.  That adrenal thing does catch up to me on some days! Bridgett is feeling good.  She loves her glasses and wears them all of the time.  She looks really cute in them, thankfully.  I'm glad she likes them and I'm not having to talk her into wearing them!  I am worried a little about putting the prisms on them. I just don't want to do things that will be hard for her brain to sort out.  Then her function level may decrease at least for a time.  I talked to Bob and he said that in his experience, the prisms never work.  He is against trying it.  I don't really know what to do. The doctor in Utah is more experienced and he never suggested it. I guess for now we will at least keep the appointment to see Dr. Murdock in September, and between now and then decide whether to try it or not. Neither of these guys are brain specialists.  Oh, that gives me an idea.  I should call Dr. Warner's office.  She is a brain specialist, a neuro ophthalmologist.  That's a good idea.  Talking things out helps me when I need to sort things in my mind!!  Also, we will see Dr. Lindsay, Bridgett's neurologist, in September before Dr. Murdock's appointment.  I already planned to discuss it with him.  He did tell me before though that neuro ophthalmology is a specialized field and that they know better about brain/eye stuff.  He said he defers to the specialists in that area regarding what to do about her eyes.  But, I can at least bounce it off of him.
