A Knocked out Tooth, A Pair of Glasses, and A Walker

It has been an eventful two weeks in our house. Luk knocked out his front tooth on our living room floor. It busted his lip and knocked the tooth right out of his gum. Luk is not foreign to injury in his mouth. When he was about nine months old he bit his tongue and had a major infection due to the bite. So, having one more thing happen to his mouth was very sad for me to watch. We used to think that he was just clumsy because he is prone to black eyes, injury, etc. However, we found out that Luk's lazy eye has alot to do with his accidents. He has bad depth perception, and he can't see without the help of his right eye. His left eye was 20/100. He couldn't make out the big "E" in the eye exam. He was moved to the picture for his left eye. In his right eye he can nearly see perfect, and did great on the letter chart.

A few fact about this and Luk:
1) He would have failed a driving test if they were to give him one based on his vision.
2) He only sees with his right eye, which is handicapping his left eye more.
3) He will need glasses for the rest of his life to keep his left eye functioning correctly.
4) We will have to schedule appointments every three months to make sure that the left eye is beginning to function correctly.
5) We are hoping that by the age of six, Luk's left eye will gain full function with a smaller prescription.
6) The fact that the whole tooth came out, we will not need to do anything immediate. We have an appointment in October.

Logan will be a 11 months old in a few days, and he is already walking. He is not doing it full time, however he is walking a good distance. Here are a few pictures of my boys. This was before Luk's mishap.

Now, the mishap. I have to say, we are blessed. This situation could have gotten really bad, however God made this situation for the better. I am so grateful for it. He slept in our bed that night because I was a little nervous.

The Tooth!

His lip the next day

One week from the accident and with his glasses:

The Studious Look

The Cheesy Look
(if you take a close look, you can see where his gum is still bruised)

He is such a funny kid, and he looks to the happiness in situations. I love this kid.
