Avery's 18 months!

Hard to believe it's been 18 months! Avery is doing well - still not talking which I suspect will be a topic of conversation at this weeks 18 month well check. She says "Duh" for dog and it sounds like she says "ah deer" for in there???? We shall see. She is running now and dancing up a storm. She is always pretty eager to show off her "moves"! She loves to play wii (well, we take the batteries out of one remote and let her hold that one while we play) She is very cute with it, she shakes the remote just like we do :)

After Avery's first eye surgery I said that we were fully aware that she would likely need more surgeries in the future. Carl and I learned of a specialist at UCLA (yes.....all the way in sunny California) this specialist does a special surgery that only a handful of doctors in the US do. And UCLA is where the procedure was pioneered. It's still a eye muscle surgery, just a little more involved than her first surgery. We are in the process of trying to set up a trip to CA to have her evaluated for this procedure. Her opthomologist feels confident that she will be a surgical candidate and that this procedure would benefit her more than a traditional medial rectus release (the surgery that she had done in August) . We are still in the early stages of planning and right now we are looking to go in June, but also hoping that they may be able to fit us in somewhere before then.
