We just got back from Aubries eye doctor, and well.... not so good news today.. her eye has not had any change. The doctor has ordered that Aubrie now starts patching at school all day every day. If we don't get aggressive, we will loose our opportunity to make this eye work. After the doctor left the room, it sunk in to Aubrie that she would have to patch at school and she started to cry, and then I started to cry.. my heart aches for her and all the hard work she has to do . The doctor must have gotten word that we were upset and returned to the room. She explained that she normally sees children as infants or toddlers and has lots of years to change their eye, and
we are trying to "beat the clock" on Aubrie's eye b/c she is already 7 1/2. I explained that we would do what ever it took to get the most out of this eye and we were not going to give up.
So Aubrie and I have had a "girls day" today, we went to lunch and bought her a new stuffed animal (like she needed another one !!) and just spent time talking about her concerns and what her responses should be to others. She knows that this is serious and that if we don't do whatever the doctor says she will be blind in that eye the rest of her life.
Please keep Aubrie in your prayers for complete healing of her left eye. Pray for her while she is at school, she is really worried that the kids will make fun of her and tease her. Pray that the other kids receive her with open caring arms and help her instead of put her down . Also pray that the school is accommodating in Aubries every need, so that her grades are not affected by this.
we will keep you posted.

I'm so sorry to hear about Aubrie's eye not having any change. I teared up reading your update. I will pray specifically for her classmates and all those she's around... that they will be loving and kind and supportive.
