Finn's ROP is dead

We had another eye doctor appointment for Finn today. It went exceedingly well, other than Finn completely puking right beforehand. It went everywhere. I'm so glad I switched to a diaper bag because I had an extra blanket and clothes. It was out of character for him because he hadn't just eaten, but who knows. It even came out his nose. I don't remember this happening when I've been around other babies (but I'm sure it does!), but it really bothers me. He grasps for air and there isn't much I can do (the suction bulb is still too big for his nose). I hate it. He just looked at me like, "What is happening mom?" He cried I hadn't heard before and my heart was pretty much broken.

Then the doctor came in and did his exam...which cause more screaming. He HATES having his eyes propped open, which I don't blame him. It looks terrible. BUT...we had good news again. The ROP disease is still there but completely inactive. That means there is practically no chance that it can come back and cause damage to Finn's eye. This is a huge relief. Finn doesn't have to go back for two more months and this is just to start checking his vision and to keep an eye on the disease (it is still there, but more like scar tissue than anything else).

It was so nice out tonight that we grilled (which isn't anything new) but then ate outside. Finn was outside with us (in the shade of course) in just a onsie. You know it is hot when he is just in a onsie. It is a first for him and he looked so darn cute. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture...I know, how terrible!

Grandpa Ron and Memere were here yesterday and today. It is nice to have them around...if nothing else for a little break. Memere got up with Finn at 6am today so I could actually sleep for more than one hour at a time. I don't know what Finn's deal was last night, but he seemed to be starving but wouldn't eat well. Makes for a very long night for mom (and probably Finn, too!). Ron was showing Austin how to hold and swing a bat today, so Austin thought that was pretty neat and was really sad when they had to leave because Austin wanted to play with Ron more!
