Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Hi Tawnya, Since you are so close we'll have to chat. Why did your daughter's surgery? I saw your post about glasses. A good friend of mine struggled with getting their 12 mos old daughter to wear her classes. The glasses actually had little loops around the ears that helped them stay on better and a strap (a pretty pink one) that went around the back of her head that held them on. Of course her little one could get them off if she really wanted to, but the strap helped them stay on most of the time. Another friend has the same loops/straps and her daughter is even able to wear her glasses at gymnastics without them falling off. We'll have to arrange a playdate sometime.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Hi April, Laryssa Dragen from Kaiser did the surgery. She is great and the surgery results are wonderful. We are very happy. I have to admit the day I found out she needed glasses I came home teary eyed. Maybe, it was the entire dilation, my daughter was drenched in sweat from crying. It was horrible. And now I'm just so sad that she has one more thing to deal with..... You always hope for the best, even when I know this is only cosmetic, it still hurts when I think she might get teased in the future. Anyhow, sorry to put that on you..... We are good for a playdate pretty much anytime, on Thursdays or Fridays. My other daughter has preschool M-W. I hope all is well with you and your kids.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hi Tawnya, My youngest two are in preschool on Mon/Wed too. Fridays probably work best for us. I'll email you off the board with contact info and hopefully we can get the little ones together to play soon! We have never met another child with BPES and when I mentioned to Micah we were going to meet a new friend who had the same surgery he did he was VERY excited and said, " I would like to say hi to her!
