Clepson had his first meeting today w/ Doctor M. Doctor M dilated Clepson's eyes and gave him a thorough exam. Clepson has no vision in his bad eye and will have it enucleated on June 25. This is a VERY scary thing for Clepson and we could use all the prayer and support we can get! Clepson will be fitted for a prosthetic eye about four weeks after surgery. If all goes well he will be on track to return home in time for the start of school.
Clepson was very frightened before we met with the doctor. I don't know if he thought something might be done today. The eye dilation made vision in his good eye fuzzy and this seemed to scare Clepson too. It would be a very scary thing to have reduced vision when you only have vision in one eye to start with.
Clepson missed the other kids today when he was home alone with me. He spent time working on math work and french and riding the scooter outside. He is settling in pretty well and his behavior has been very normal preteen boy! What a wonderful job they have done at Love a Child! Clepson has wonderful manners and has not objected to helping Noah and Zoe with chores. He does seem very intrigued with television and video games, unfortunately we try to do as little gaming and tv as possible;)
Clepson tried pizza on the plane and wants to have it again soon. Mexican food was not a big hit for lunch, but he loves cold cereal and seemed to appreciate my attempt at Haitian beans and rice tonight. Clepson loves salad and turned down the cinnamon sugar chips served with his kids meal at lunch.
