Taylor's glasses

Taylor had her 6 year old well check up in August and they screened her for her sight and told me I need to take her to an optometrist.  Come to find out my girl can't see!!  
 She did super great on all of the tests to get her readings.


 The saddest part was when the doctor started changing the lenses to see which was better.  Taylor sat up and was amazed that she could see so clear.  It broke my little heart :(
She has an astigmatism in one eye and has some nearsightedness in the other eye.  The doctor said she can't see near and she can't see far.  So Sad!!  I asked the doctor why we didn't know sooner that she couldn't see and he said she had been seeing like this her whole life, she didn't know any better.  How do you explain something's fuzzy if you've never seen it clear?
Here she is wearing them for the first time!!
 We went to McDonalds to celebrate her new glasses!!
When we picked them up they told us she may get headaches and actually fall down a bit because she was so used to over compensating for her perception of things being off.  She's had them 2 days and has done really well with them :)
