We didn't plan for this to happen

The Cute Eye Doctor

November, 2007

We finally made the journey to Springfield for Cadence’s eye exam. The hospital we go to is extremely nice and modern, it looks like a brand new facility. Of course, every time we’re there someone wants to touch her, and I have to put on my protective mom hat. I’m surprised how peeved people get, but what else can I do? The way most people get sick is through contact with a sick person’s hands. Someone wipes their nose or coughs onto their fingers, and then wants to touch my preemie? I don’t think so!

The eye doc is a handsome man, quite attractive. His nurses are obviously ga-ga over him. He checked her eyes and told us that they are getting better. This is a great relief. I feel like (hopefully) it is the last hurdle we have to cross. He wants us to come again in two weeks instead of the typical one, and he believes that the next appointment will be the last. I’m crossing my fingers!
