The theme today was eyes.

First Andrew lost the peripheral vision in his right eye during SAT testing at school. We immediately made an appointment with an eye doctor to have it looked at, and it turned out he had an occular migraine. Not long after he lost his vision, he got it back again – along with a severe headache and nausea. In a few hours he was back to normal, but now we need to keep any eye on him to make sure that it wasn’t anything more than that.

The trip to the Eye Clinic was something new. Or rather, something old. The medical facilities here have that “old European charm.” We waited in the hallway for Andrew’s eye doctor along with everyone else waiting on their eye doctor. It was a university hospital, so there were students in tow behind their residents and all sort of other things passing by. While we waited (90 minutes) I got some shut-eye. That was actually very nice; dreams and all.

For dinner tonight we all ate in front of a movie, The Return of the King. And, of course, there was that eye theme again. Cathy finally started scolding the other three of us for making so many blood-shot eye jokes toward the end of the movie.

And dessert was something for the eye to behold; strawberry shortcake by Audrey. She is on another cooking spree. The other night it was baked apples. Mmmm.
