Appointments galore!

Another day, another appointment. Lance and Austin had their Early Intervention appointment today. They came to the house and assessed their development. So far, so good. They will send a survey in a couple of months to follow up.
Tomorrow is their eye doctor appointment. I know, why do 7 month old babies need an eye doctor. This will be their 3rd time going. This time, they won't use the medieval torture device to examine them. Last time, the doctor held their eye open with this little metal instrument and then poked their eyes with another. All the while, they were being held down by an assistant. Keep in mind, they were 4 and 5 pounds. Not easy to stand by and watch them do this.
This time, they'll just be checking for lazy eye. Apparently, it's more common in premmies.
Then, next week, Austin will have his 1st physical therapy appointment for his neck. And, hopefully, next week, we'll hear back from the helmet place about Austin's newest accessory.
I don't really notice, but the neurologist says that his forehead's higher on one side. If insurance doesn't cover the helmet, he'll just have to have a slightly crooked head, because the helmet is $4000! I got into the wrong business!
