I wear my sunglasses at night


This is the final stage in Brady's obsession with all things celeb! Though this picture was taken indoors Brady insisted on wearing his shades. He claims all the bulb flashing is tough on his cornea's and he can't take the chance of developing squint lines this early in life. OMG!

In reality Brady went to the eye doctor today. He will be checked annually until he is 9 (when vision sets in) for three main things: cataracts, crossed eyes and need for glasses. Today he passed all three tests with flying colors. His eyes are perfect! We are thrilled! Brady has passed another bump in the road with no problem. Next week Brady will have major blood work done to check for thyroid issues and anemia, not that we are worried about either of these, but babies with Down Syndrome often have an over or under active thyroid. He will also have an ultrasound to search for the elusive right testicle. Our boys boys have been ascended since birth so its time to bring'em home. Next week we begin the process to "fill the sack." Brady's left guy is hovering just north and the right one is a mystery, hence the ultrasound. He will have 1 surgery to bring the right one down. If there is a left one Brady will have 2 more procedures; one to first cut the blood supply and the second to bring it south. All this business has nothing to do with Down Syndrome, it was just the luck of the draw.

Poor Brady! Well, I guess it's better to get this type of surgary out of the way now so he doesn't remember the pain. Good Luck Brady.
