These are prescription glasses with a orange tint. I’m thankful his doctor was totally on board to do the tint. He can still wear his old glasses if he decides to he doesn’t like the orange and it is also fine to rotate his other colored glasses if he chooses.
Three o’clock in the morning came quick. Too quick. Owen was ready for his day. He knew he was going to see his grandma and that will always be a reason to celebrate at three in the morning. He was in a good mood as soon as he woke and it mostly stayed like that throughout the day. He listened pretty well when I asked him to do different things, especially when it was getting ready to go see grandma and he was kinda, sorta, okayish on the volume of the tv and his tablet. When he was with his grandma I got a call that his glasses were in. This was exciting news to me. I let Owen stay with my mom a little longer and then I went to pick him up so we could go get his glasses. I probably should have gone by myself but I wanted him to go in case they needed to be adjusted. I forgot they closed for lunch until we got almost there. We had to drive around for a few minutes and this upset him. I hate making mistakes like this because it’s not easy for him to transition from one moment to the next. Luckily the airport was nearby and that at least distracted him but unfortunately, no planes were taking off. When we got to the office we had to sit in the waiting room for a few minutes. He was on hyper-alert for blue pants and not everyone was wearing them. This caused him to yell “blue pants” out numerous times. I tried to get him to breathe through it all but he was still in sensory overload. I asked him to sit with me but instead, he bounced on the chairs and then my legs and stood again, pulling my hair for the input he needed. My heart aches for him and you can feel everyone trying to ignore the situation but they truly aren’t. A few more moments went by and then we were called back. Again the blue pants thing tripped us up. One of the ladies had on grey. This caused him once again to be concerned about it and told her to “wear blue pants and white sneakers tomorrow”. Thankfully we were able to get his new glasses adjusted and then he wanted to show everyone. He asked for the doctor but she wasn’t there today. He didn’t want to wear them in the car and asked for his other orange glasses. I let him switch between them and then once we got home he wore his new ones. At first, he asked for his old orange glasses but as the night went on and lots of food in between he asked to wear his new glasses to bed. I think he likes them. He said, “glasses to bed.” Tomorrow is “therapy day therapy day” and he wants all his therapists in blue pants so I’m praying he is calm. I’m glad he likes his new glasses and I’m thankful for his interaction with me throughout the day. Be the hand for someone to hold in their sorrow and the joy when someone needs a smile for this will give you what your heart desires. Smiles to all and donut daze!
