The Gauntlet: Part 1

Today and every day the rest of this week, Kinley has an appointment. She kicked off early this morning with the running favorite: eye exam.

In the waiting area, mom and I took turns laying our heads on each other’s shoulders, struggling to stay awake. Meanwhile, Kinley, stared up at the RSV warning sign and elephant toy that dangled from her car seat, bounced her arms around, and cooed for attention.

Her retina specialists says she’s improving and, for the first time since we left the hospital, we don’t have an eye exam for two weeks.
