The Search for Glasses

It was recommended that we get glasses for Tate to protect his "good eye." With no eye sight in his left eye, we have a lot more stress trying to keep the right eye protected. The lenses do not have a prescription in them.
Tate took this picture of himself.
These are his sports goggles. He loves them and couldn't wait to wear them to t-ball.
When Tate was trying on glasses, after a few, he came up to me and said, "Mom, I can't see out of this eye still." That broke my heart. It had never occurred to me that he thought that he would be able to see again. After that, all he wanted to do was go home. We wanted to make this fun for him and we wanted him to have good experiences at OHSU and the CEI so we went on the tram. The tram takes you from the hospital, which is up on a hill, to parking down below. This was the view from the tram station at the top.
Here we are riding the tram. We could see The Old Spaghetti Factory from the tram so we decided to eat there for dinner. It ended up being a really fun night for us.
