My baby girl

My baby girl, well not much of a baby at 8 but still my munchkin, is having surgery tomorrow. She was adopted at 22 months and we knew she had one blind eye and low vision in the other. Well, her blind eye has finally started to die and it has developed staphlomas or growths that make it impossible for her to fully close her eye and will eventually rupture. She has also developed a small retinal tear on her "good" eye. So tomorrow we are off to the Eye Institute for surgery where the tear will be lasered and stopped and the other eye will be enucleated (removed).

I'm going to home school her for 7 weeks until her prosthetic is made and back to school. She is also having her first Holy Communion  late April so she will look beautiful and holy. Of course to me she is always beautiful.

Here is my little raspberry tartlet ( I always call her by the name of food) and her big brother.
