Moving slowly

I didn't do a great job updating after the last treatment. Elliot responded great to it once again though, very pleased with the results so far. You can see every spot that the laser hit, it's like a web on his face now.

He had another eye exam last month and got great news again. There is always a sigh of relief with good news. =)

I called a few weeks ago to set up his next laser treatment and was informed that the next available date is not until October. This is going to put us three treatments behind for the year since he missed one due to RSV. I'm very unhappy about it but unfortunately there isn't anything I can do. We were put on the call list for any cancellations but I was told that list was already quite extensive. I'd really like the first round of treatments to be complete by the time he starts school. Also, the older he is the harder it is going to be on everything. I just pray they can get us at least one appointment before October. I booked one for December at the same time since it seems like they're filling up fast now.

I considered taking him elsewhere but for now I don't feel comfortable doing that. The U of M has saw him since he was born and I feel comfortable with them. It's a great hospital with an amazing staff of doctors.

On a more personal note, Elliot is getting so big so fast. He turns 1 next month. He's been taking a few steps here and there but still prefers to crawl. He definitely has a personality already and is starting to throw fits when he doesn't get his way. Hope he grows out of that one soon!

Thanks for reading and following along with us on our journey.
