Josh does have an appointment with his Optometrist on Monday July 18, but this is just a routine visit. Dr. S will check behind his eye plates to see if there is any swelling. The last visit there was no visible swelling. This is always reassuring that the tumors are not growing, however it is difficult for the Doctor, because there is quite a bit of scar tissue on Joshs' eye- due to the dermoids being removed from his eye and being replaced with donor eye. Surgery that he had done several years ago.
We planned a trip to Canada's Wonderland for the Monday just after school let out. (thanks to Jeff H for the discounted tickets :) ) The boys had such a wonderful day, we had planned to go with friends but that didn't pan out. - However it was nice to do a family day, with just the boys. We had great weather and enjoyed all the loops, twirls and pretzels that our stomachs could handle.
It is so nice to have special days and make memories.
I find that ever since we had heard that Josh was diagnosed with his brain tumors, I get my camera just a little bit more. To be truthful, I always used to be busy enjoying the moment and then kick myself later that I didnt remember my camera. ( I don't get that from a stranger, ask my mom) but now find that I will remember to grab it, don't hold me to anything, it is a work in progress..... After our appointment with the Doctor on Monday, depending on what he says, we have no other appointments booked until November. We have a nice long stretch in between our appointments this time, cause Josh is doing so great, no growth in the last 2 MRI's... we pray that this continues.
We hope and pray that you all have a happy, healthy and safe summer.
And thank you all for your continued prayers.
Psalm 13:5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
