Ethan and I went to the eye doctor again on Monday for another check up. The good thing is that we aren't looking at surgery just yet. There was a slight improvement from the last time we were there, but just slight. He is starting to bring his eyes together, and is using it more from the patching. We are going to patch for two more months and see if we can get those muscles to work together and make him use both of his eyes. The doc said he may just be taking longer then normal and wants to wait a little before we jump into surgery. If after two months things really haven't changed then he will go in for surgery on the same eye and they will loosen the outer muscle, which they tightened a tad last surgery (the muscles on both sides were worked on last surgery) so this time it would be just one. I can tell that there is some improvement and am hoping that there is even more within the next two months.

I hope by some miracle that we won't have to do surgery again. I'm ok with it if we do, but just hope that we don't have to put Ethan through that once again. Don't get me wrong, I'm so grateful that we are trying to get this all fixed and that we have options to get there, I just hope that by some chance he can start using both of them and can wave surgery all together. So just remember to keep him in your prayers.

On a super happy note, Kurt got a new job working with an Engineering firm in Salt Lake. He interviewed with them a few months ago, but with the whole slow down of the economy they decided not to hire. Two weeks ago he got an e-mail from them asking him to come again. He went in for an interview on Friday morning before our flight out to Hawaii and go offered the job the following Tuesday while we were in Hawaii. We are super excited for this new opportunity and for him to be back doing what he does best.
