February is a HUGE month for Drew and our family. First and foremost, Drew turns three tomorrow. We can’t believe that he’s three already. We are so proud of what he’s accomplished in so few years. I never knew a child could have such a strong character. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Drew Bug, we love you!
We’ll know more about what the next 6 mos. will hold when he goes in for his next eye exam on the 18th. There still is that spot in the left eye that looked different in the last exam that we are watching closely. It’s been too nice having normal holidays and being able to be a typical family, we’re hopeful we don’t take a step back!
As far as Dr. Christianson is concerned, we have good news. The U and Dr. Christianson were able to work out a compromise where he can come back two Saturdays a month for operating room time. This will allow him to continue to see Drew on these visits while he trains in the next doctor that will take over for him. We anticipate that this will continue for the next 6-8 months. It just goes to show you the love and passion these doctors have for their patients. We can’t thank him enough for his willingness to disrupt his life to ensure Drew has a smooth transition.
After Drew’s next exam, good, bad or no change, we’re headed on Drew’s Make a Wish. We leave the Saturday after the exam and are lucky enough to be going on a Disney cruise. We are planning on swimming with the dolphins and who knows, maybe Drew will get a chance to drive the ship. Needless to say, Jack and Drew can’t wait. It’s hard for the boys to understand the size of the ship…. they keep asking if it’s bigger than our house…. Boy are they in for a surprise!
The last three years has brought a lot of ups and downs for our family, we’re only happy that we’re all here to share them together.
