His glasses are quite thick and a very strong prescription, both Sacha and I looked through them and while I need and wear glasses I was very suprised at the strength of his glasses. I would have freaked out too if I was Jason. He has gotten used to seeing things fuzzy and we thing at times in double vision and to see them "correctly" for the first time scared him. Poor baby is sleeping now but it is a restless sleep, and he is crying in his sleep quite a bit. Quite tramatic for him to say the least!
Keep Jason in your prayers, he does not talk yet, and can not tell us he is scared, that you can see from his reaction. While Jason understands so much of what we say to him and responds by doing the things we ask him to do, he can not say NO MOMMY he just violently shakes his head and grabs at his face. We are having to hold his hands down away from his face which is also very upsetting to our precious child, because he is a self soother via thumb sucking. I am terrified he will not trust his mommy and daddy much more due to all the appointments we are taking him to. He does not understand that this is all for his own good and he will thank us later in life when he can see and his eye's are strong!
I can feel the pain in your words as you write -- what an amazing gift you are giving him by truly honoring how he feels and how difficult this struggle is for him! You all will survivie this, and in the mean time, remember everything we learn is learned through baby steps. And that is not just true for kids, but for adults as well. :)
