Cardwell Happenings

So there has been a lot going on in the Cardwell family recently. First we had some concerns related to Millie's vision. She reported seeing "oatmeal" one night. Which we could only assume were floaters. After discussion with her regular eye doctor he recommended we see a retinopothist (sp). Because of Millie's eye injury back in November they wanted to be sure there was nothing wrong with her optic nerve. Well we went to the specialist yesterday and everything is fine :) She did wonderful! We were very proud of her and the specialist thought she was much older because of her great behavior. Needless to say we headed to Toys R Us! We are very grateful to God for her perfect vision.

Secondly Wayne recently began having more difficulty with his hip. (Related to a childhood injury.) After a visit with his orthopedist he has opted, after much discussion, to have a hip replacement on May 25th. This will involve quite a lot of time off of work for both me and Wayne, but we luckily have the "hours" to cover it. It was a hard decision for Wayne to make, but we both feel it is in the best interest of him and our family. I look forward to a day in which Wayne will be pain free. So please keep us all in your prayers and we hope things will settle soon.

On a side note, funny Millie comment for the day:

Me: Millie do you want to go play in the snow??

Millie: No thanks we have done that way too much already!

Bhahaha, she is so smart.

  2. Praise God for a good report on Millie's eyes. That is wonderful. I'll be praying for Wayne and your family.

    About the snow, we cannot get Samuel to go out and play in it. The first few snows, he wanted to. Now, he's over it just like Millie!
