I have been working hard on vacation to change the blog and add to it. One should not work this hard on vacation:) As I sit here in the air conditioning while my father-in-law prepares a late lunch and Stacy watches the girls swimming, I will have to admit my comment about working hard may be a bit hard to believe.

Lizzie has an appointment for an ERG on July 20th in OKC.
"Electroretinography (ERG) is an eye test used to detect abnormal function of the retina (the light-detecting portion of the eye). Specifically, in this test, the light-sensitive cells of the eye, the rods and cones, and their connecting ganglion cells in the retina are examined. During the test, an electrode is placed on the cornea (at the front of the eye) to measure the electrical responses to light of the cells that sense light in the retina at the back of the eye. These cells are called the rods and cones."

She will be completely sedated for this. There are many disorders of the retina that an ERG can detect. Oh, and Lizzie will be getting glasses to help with her lack of muscle control. Sarah is angry about this. Now she will be the only one in the entire Ross Family that does not have glasses. Stacy is convinced Sarah will bomb her next eye exam just to get a pair:)
