Poor Pretty Lucy


Well, we have had quite a week with our little Lucy girl. Early in the week her and Gideon (during a "quiet time" in their room) got into their first fight! Gideon recieved a large scratch down his face from Lucy after which he proceeded to give her a strong shove...pushing her into our textured walls....causing the side of her face to get torn up a bit and bleed. I came in at the blood curling scream from Lucy...all I had to do was look at Gideon and he was in tears. In less than a minute they were hugging eachother and crying..both saying "I'm Sorry" actually Lucy was saying "I Sowee Bubba....I Sowee..." it was really cute despite my having to have the discipline face on I had to grin a bit.
The rest of the week went smooth. On Friday night we took a trip to my cousin's in Perrysburg to pick up some heirloom furniture for the girls. We had a really good time catching up with them and the kids had a lot of fun playing!
On Saturday we headed to the lake to celebrate Jim and Jay's birthdays with a hotdog roast and of course...fishing for the men! This time though, Les and Nancy and I got to get out a bit without the kids as well. There is a big old house in Fayette that whenever Nancy and I drive by we always say...I wish we could see the inside of that....and on Saturday we actually got too. A local couple that runs several bed and breakfasts has been redoing that one as a b&b as well and they had an open house. It was an old doctors house. Dr Rorick. Keith's great grandma actually cleaned in the house for the doctor and his family when she was a young girl. The woodwork was awesome! It hada big open staircase in the entery way 4 bedrooms upstairs and one down. It also had a back staircase for the servants to come upstairs from the kitchen....it was really neat...and we enjoyed our time out!
Well anyway...on Sat night Lesley happened to ask if I had ever noticed any of my kids being Cock-eyed. I said.....as a matter of fact I've thought I've seen Lucy's eyes looking a little off at times but I never thought much of it....she said that Josh was just diagnosed as being cock-eyed and that if neither set of Grandparents had an obvious cock-eyed disposition and none of the children did that each grandchild would have it. He said that in most of the kids we wouldn't even notice it but.....I have in Lucy...the more I watched her and put two and two togethor the more I noticed how every time she really looks hard at something she turns her head to the side and her eyes go a little cock eyed....so needless to say I've been nervous...I was already nervous about her and her sudden choking on food and drooling out of the blue and I mentioned that to Les too and she said that Jacob began doing that at Lucy's age and eventually had sleep apnea which led to the realization that his tonsils were too large and he had to have them removed.
So....needless to say Lucy has a doctors appointment on Wed. the 28th that we would appreciate prayer for. Dr Bourn will examine her throat and her eyes and more than likely we will at that point be referred to a pediatric optomologist in Toledo. I just hope Lucy doesn't have to have a patch over her eye all summer or glasses! But....I would rather deal with it now than later!
So anyway poor little Lucy is quite a mess right now...and so is her mommy for that matter. I feel like a bad mother that I never put two and two togethor before for her...I'm her mom...I should know better! Hope all is well! Love to all!
