Dearest friends, We recently brought Lizzie to see her paediatrician, and was advised to consult an eye specialist, as she is developing a bit of a squint, and the doctor suspected that she may be short sighted.
So we went to the childrens' eye specialist, and after the first lot of tests we were told she had very severe astigmatism and short sightedness, and that her squint would need surgery! We were completely in shock. ANOTHER SURGERY?!?!
After more detailed testing, to our relief, the eye specialist told us that Lizzie indeed had astigmatism, but it was still within normal limits for her age, and as for her vision, she had long, not short sightedness, which was ALSO within normal limits. Phew! Thank God.
However, she warned if her squint does not improve, or worsens, she may need to go ahead with surgery on her eyes to correct it.
We will have to return for a review in 3 months to see if things get better.
Please pray for Lizzie that she will have normal eyesight, and that she will not have to undergo anymore surgeries than is necessary.
I'll have what Mummy and Daddy are having....
Oh well, I'll settle for water again....
Its tough without a bendy straw....
Freeze! its Inspector Lizzie!
We recently brought Lizzie to Jurong Bird Park - she really enjoyed herself, pointing at all the birds and giving us a good workout (lugging around Lizzie's pram, Lizzie's bag, and Lizzie).

Thank you for blessing us with your prayers, and for encouraging us to continue this blog. We continue to ask for your prayers for Lizzie, during this time, her condition is stable, but we recognise that she still has a long road ahead of her, and we want to remember to look towards God for guidance and direction every step of the way.
God Bless,
Elaine
