Eventually I had the eye removed due to glaucoma and got a prosthetic eye (or glass eye), but they make some incredibly realistic prosthetics these days - I'm a teacher and my students have no idea that one of my eyes isn't real unless I tell them! Feel free to contact me at deallp@gmail.com, I'd be happy to talk to you about it. Belated congratulations to the girls on their first birthday!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923076798331646173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9145471442079731509.post-86317519521746545962010-06-17T16:47:09.388-05:002010-06-17T16:47:09.388-05:00Daddy and Haley together is so cute and sweet!!!

We pray that Miss Haley will have some eyesight and she is a fighter so who knows what miracles may still be in store :)<br /><br />Rachel is so darn cute and the picture of her with her tongue out makes me laugh!!!<br /><br />They do look so alike and there is not doubt they are sisters.

It had bothered me for a while why her eye seemed to be shut all the time - that makes total sense that since it isn't being used, it pretty much just closes up. It is AMAZING what these doctors can do to cosmetically fix something like that. I do hope that she gets some vision in the other eye, but even if she doesn't, I am sure that she will excel regardless!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00088826481014047794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9145471442079731509.post-20750799510865518072010-06-09T23:40:31.773-05:002010-06-09T23:40:31.773-05:00I love seeing their sweet smiling faces.

She'll learn to read (Braille), attend school along with her sister, work using a computer and get about using a range of skills including any useful vision she has. Your gorgeous girls will be just fine - regardless of what disabilities they grow up with.Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15436653419185638854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9145471442079731509.post-43327022688140160902010-06-09T20:25:47.729-05:002010-06-09T20:25:47.729-05:00Thinking of you and your babies.

Reading about Rachel and the applesauce reminded me of when my 23-weekers were first starting feeding and we sat them in a kiddie pool on the living room floor to contain the mess. I hope you have found other preemie parents to talk with about their experiences. I'm not sure I've mentioned it in previous comments, but I have found wonderful support through Preemies Today and Preemie-L online groups.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04413100695399184954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9145471442079731509.post-31645953393638823452010-06-09T10:11:39.931-05:002010-06-09T10:11:39.931-05:00Haley's eye looks so much mroe pronounced that...Haley's eye looks so much mroe pronounced that usual today. Maybe it's because she has her glasses off. Well, we can only hope and pray for her vision to improve so she can see this beautiful world around her! And thank goodness for the prosthesis so her eyes look the same. That will be a blessing to her later on in life when she grows up. <br /><br />Question: Does Haley respond to interactions with your faces- like, if you make faces at her, does she respond to you?<br /><br />Haley looks SO CUTE touching her toes!!!! SO CUTE! I love those babies!<br /><br />Good for our lil Rachie for turning over! What a big girl she is!!!

She'll be 7 soon and she still requires her food to be cut into little bits (she has global muscular weaknesses and chewing it hard work for her) and would rather use her fingers than utensils. But she eats, her weight is FINALLY within the normal range and I just give thanks for my Blessings.Mum2twopreciousgiftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15007154408088837824noreply@blogger.com
