Good News

Do you ever feel like you just need to have a good cry and you will feel better, well Tuesday night was that kind of night. I had taken Reese to the mall Tuesday and she ran right into the wall and fell on the floor hard. I feel so bad everytime she has accidents like this whether it be falling down stairs or hitting a wall or something in her path. It is so hard to watch her, but I know I have to let her learn from these to be able to recognize her other senses and let them help her navigate (except for the falling down the stairs, I would have definatley stopped her if I had seen her!!) Anyway we had an appointment the next day at Primary's and I was certain we were going to get bad news. We have noticed her running into things more and starting to squint a lot. I started to talk to Willy about this Tuesday night and ask him if he had noticed the same things and he had, and the tears started to flow!!!
Well Wednesday morning I felt pretty good about things, my mom rode down to Salt Lake with me and we actually got good news that her eyes looked the same physically and she passed the same amount of cards for her vision so I was very relieved.
We are taking Reese to Philadelphia to a Lebers conference next month and are very excited to learn more about her eye disease and to hopefully meet with the doctors at the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia. The doctors will do breakout sessions at the conference so even if we don't get an appointment we will get to chat with them at the conference!!! My parents are going with us to watch Reese during the conference and then we are going sight seeing for a couple days after around Philadelphia and up to New York!!
I am so grateful to be Reese's mom and especially for the gospel and the power of prayer. I know why we were given this little challenge in our lives. I have seen the blessings already from it, and I know that my Heavenly Father knows me and will guide me and direct me in ways to help Reese!!
