Cataracts, Good Report, & A Birthday.....

  Sitting in my optometrist's office. I have seen these photos of his two beautiful daughters grow through the years.  One is married and one is in college. :)
  This is where Dr. wants to send me for cataract surgery.  I am thinking about it all.  The office girls gave me a nice booklet to look over. They even furnish rides to and from the clinic.
   These pictures are suppose to let you know how you see with and without cataracts. I certainly prefer without.  LOL  Although, I am not as bad as the before surgery photo. :) I will have this surgery done in the spring.
   Here's great grandson Luke. Look at that pompadour hair-do.  So sweet. He had his check up and pulmonary function tests done.  . His CF team and drs. say his lung are normal, functioning well. He weighs 20 pounds now at almost 7 months of age...so doing well there. His report was good and he will not have to return till Feb.
  Here he is with his Gigi (my daughter Liz)  Luke has some teeth now and he likes biting on them. :)
 I want all of you to wish Louis Dean Chapman a happy birthday. He is the loving  husband of Linda @ Linda's Life Journal. They are the sweetest couple.  :)
 Wishing all of you a good day .  Some sun today. :) XO

  1. What a nice post, Susie. I don't blame you for putting that off until Spring. I would be a bit of a chicken about having something done to my eyes!

    That little Luke is just the cutest little kid! I am so glad his lungs are okay. It is so hard to watch a child with physical problems.

    Will wish LD a happy birthday. I just love Linda's blog. xo Diana

    1. Diana, I have followed Linda's blog before her grand quads were born. I feel in love with her kind heart. Plus I swear were separated at birth. LOL.
      Our Luke is a sweetheart of a boy, I pray God always holds him in his hands.
      Oh I would love that seven thousand dollar surgery...where you never wear glasses again...but wow that is steep. I am leary of it all...but I want to read and sew like I used too. Blessings, good luck this Thanksgiving. xoxo,love, Susie

  2. Cute great grand!! Good health reports are so welcome :)
    Certainly understand being hesitant concerning eye surgery. But I'm sure the results will be better, by far, for you.
    Take care and enjoy your day!

    1. Thank you Noreen. Luke is so sweet, I am happy his report was so good. This will be the longest time in between visits and check ups.
      I am hoping I can get interested in reading, sewing and crafting after I get the cataracts removed. :) Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie

  10. Very good news about that adorable great grandson of yours! It must be such a relief for his parents. I hear that cataract surgery is pretty common these days. My mother-in-law is on a list to have her eyes done, too. She has dementia and keeps reminding us that she needs new glasses and we keep reminding her that she has been seen by a doctor and has cataracts. I hope the recovery is easy (for both you and her!) -Jenn

    1. Sheri, Things can change in a wink. Luke has croup and had to have some meds. He is better already thank God. It's scary, colds, coughs lung illnesses can be horrible for him. Just truly thankful he had a good lung report fro the drs.
      Don't you just love the Chapmans. They are so cute and kind to everyone. You know yourself that there are some of us that truly feel like family to one another. I feel that way about you, Linda/LD, Diana, and many more. I am blessed. :):) Wishing you a glorious holiday. Blessings, love you, xoxo, Susie
