Second year Day 258 - Wednesday August 28, 2013

This week is a hard week for Stephany, as she is doing a clearing.  This entails five days of feeling miserable, in hopes that she will then be able to feel better.  It's difficult, but I'm proud of her for doing it.  It's hard, knowing that it could be very bad.  The last clearing she did, for the CMV, was while we were in Provo.  She was SOOOO sick!  This time we decided to do the clearing while in Richfield, so that Faith could see her every day and try to minimize the effects of the clearing while still helping it along.  So far, there has been a difference and I'm glad we decided to do things this way.  Bridgett is doing well.  She is really reading a lot lately and that's fun.  She is back to the Twilight saga, and mixes that up with some Harry Potter from time to time.  She is doing well with her new glasses.  When we get back to Montana we have another appointment in Missoula with the ophthamologist, Dr. Murdock.  At that time, he will be trying to apply prism films to the back of her lenses in hopes that she will start seeing double.  Sounds weird, right!  If he can get her to start seeing double, then maybe her brain will be able to merge the double images.  If that happens, he feels that there is a good chance that the surgery will be successful.
