Happy Thanksgiving!

On this Thanksgiving Eve, I want to take the time to thank all of you who have been following Aly's journey.  We are so thankful for everyone who has supported us through this difficult time in our lives.  Whether you supported us through positive thoughts and prayers, helped us by providing a meal, volunteering your time, or gave gifts, we could not have made it through without you.  We consider you our extended family and we have been very blessed to have you by our side.  

No matter what is going on in your life, currently, I hope you will all take time to be with family and friends, as much as possible, and enjoy the holiday.  Hug your kids and tell them you love them because you never know when a tragedy or life threatening illness will enter your lives.  It is so easy, in this busy world, to forget how precious time is.  

 We so grateful that Aly is back on the healthy list. We will be blessed to be without necessary doctor appointments for a few months now.  We will, however, be meeting with a specialist who will assist Aly with her limited eye sight.  I still need to call and make an appointment, hopefully they won't be too far out in their scheduling.  We received a review of her last eye appointment yesterday.  Below you will find her vision fields, the areas she can see out of each eye.  Very limited, as you can tell.  She is legally blind in the right eye.  I am amazed how well she functions, and sad that it went from bad, to great, to really bad.  I hope they will give us some guidance as to what will be most helpful to her.  

Hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving!  We are looking forward to seeing most of the immediate family members, on both sides, tomorrow and Friday.  Best Wishes to You and Yours...
