About Me

My photo
Everything happens for a reason. This is what i keep telling myself these days. With all the troubles that i had last year, i pray that i come out on top as a stronger person.

For one chapter to begin, one must be closed. I'm closing the chapter of my life where i am a victim of circumstance, and opening a new chapter where I am full of optimism. I got accepted into Sierra College's Nursing Program for Fall 2009 . I know this is the start of a better life for us. I'm extremly blessed and fortunate to have gotten into the program after only applying once. I'm taking this as a sign from whatever greater power there is out there that this is what I am truly supposed to be doing. i'm not taking anything for granted anymore.

Stailynne's Eye Appt

Today Stailynne had an appointment with Dr. Ruben at Point West Kaiser Medical Center. He's a specialist they said so that's why I had to go all the way to the Arden area to see him. It was for her "lazy" eye, which i had growing up, but grew out of. Just to be safe, I took her to the appointment.

Jamie went with me to help carry Stailynne around with all of her stuff.

After they examined her eyes, they told me that they would have to dialate her eyes too. That kind of concerned me because i didn't know how she was going to react to it. They said that when you get your eyes dialated that you can't see up close. I was a little worried that she was going to be grumpy the whole rest of the day. But of course I agreed, because its for her benefit.

Dr. Ruben came in and he did his examination. He concluded that she didn't have a lazy eye or anything that concerned him. But he did mention that she had a bit of an astigmatism already. That was surprising, though that's what i have too. He said that i made a clone of myself. He said that she would probably start to need glasses around the same time i started needing them, which was around high school.


On our way out, we put the sunglasses that we got from the doctor's office on Stailynne. She looked so cute! You couldn't really even see her face because the glasses were big, and she had her pacifier in mouth.




It's crazy that Stailynne got my eyes. I wonder what else will pop up later.
