- Zac's basketball team ended up 3rd in the county. They lost in double overtime by 2 points. As the coach had them all lined up after the game talking to them, several of the players were crying because they lost. Not Zac! He was still talking trash. "We will have more fun at our party than they (the winning team) will." One of these days that little boys is going to talk trash to the wrong kid! Oh well on to baseball.
- I had the flu a couple of weeks ago. I was completely down for a week. Honestly, I thought I would die. That is the biggest reason the blog hasn't been updated. My house is also trashed. How come it only takes a few days to get trashed but much longer to get everything back in order?
- Ronnie has been having a lot of drama with being over baseball this year. Last year was easy in comparison. He had to fire a couple of coaches and find replacements. The replacements are both really good men and I think the kids are better off. He has had several people tell him he did the right thing. I am really proud of him. As my mama said, "the right thing isn't always the easy thing." Hopefully, the drama is about to blow over and everyone will be busy getting their teams ready for the season. Ronnie is coaching Zac this year so that should be interesting. They are soooo much alike.
- Zac got glasses a few weeks back. He is doing much better with them than I expected. He flunked his school eye exam so we took him to an eye doctor locally and he flunked there as well. The doctor had me freaked out because he was saying Zac would need surgery and it had to be done before he turned 7 (on 2/19) and he was getting us in to see a pediatric opthalmologist at Children's Hospital in Birmingham. Zac being the "go with the flow" child that that he is was not the least bit worried. He proceeded to tell everyone that would listen that he was blind. Ronnie jokingly said that he would file for disability if we would let him. Long story short, we went to Birmingham and they didn't think it was near as bad as we first thought. No surgery, just glasses and he has to wear a patch 2 hours a day. During that time he is supposed to do something that stimulates the weaker eye like play video games. Naturally that is all Zac heard--he has to play video games for 2 hours a day. Evidently this is a common occurrence in children who were preemies that were on a vent. Zac was on the vent for 10 days.
That's about all I have for today. Maybe I'll get some pictures on here later this week.
Happy Monday!

I was watching John & Kate Plus Eight on TLC the other night and they talked about premies having eye problems and having their 6 little ones check each year. I thought that was kinda weird since we all didn't know about the eye thing before Zac got his glasses. I think the glasses make him look really smart! :)
I had never head of the eye thing before. We were told to have his hearing checked because that is a common issue with early births and we did several times when he was a baby. I had always read that there would be issues until he was 2 but according to Dr. Hay once a premie always a premie. Oh well if money can fix it, it's not a problem!
