On Tuesday, September 25, we traveled to Columbus so that Ellie-Kate could meet with our pediatric opthamologist, Dr. Fogt. Ellie-Kate had been poked in the eye by her best friend, Jack, and we wanted to get her eye checked out by an expert. (The lady at Walmart had been reassuring, but she mentioned some possible unrelated problems.) Ellie-Kate was a real trooper at the appointment. Dr. Fogt was great too, and she found a muscular problem with Ellie-Kate's eye that might, in the long term, require surgery. (heavy sigh) We're supposed to come back in six months. In the meantime, we celebrated Ellie-Kate's great behavior with a trip to Chuckie Cheese. After stressing that she didn't want to be around CC, he won her heart by giving her free tickets. She played a game with him, posed for pics, and even ran after him to give a hug. Very cool!! What a way to pre-game for pics with the Disney characters in seven weeks!!
