Gavin's Eye Patch

We went to the eye doctor and the doctor said Gavin needs to patch his eye 4 hours a day to increase the strength of his weaker eye.  We have been doing 2 hours a day for the past year so this is a significant increase. He also added that patching is only effective until about age 8--which leaves us only 6 more months.

In an effort to make the whole experience less painful and more productive, Shawn and I decided to replace the DS that he lost in March and make wearing an eye patch mandatory when he plays.   Gavin quickly pointed out that anyone who plays the DS must wear an eye patch.



A big thank you to our girls who are willing to play along.

Lucy! With all your comments you're making this the best day EVER for me!

If you come over, we'll let you wear the patch and play the game too!
