Tea Party for 17 Please

 What a busy busy day we had on Monday (3/10)!  The typical morning routine and crossing guard, then Jayna and I headed to Charlottesville for her final Vision Therapy Trial Study appointment.  We met with both Dr Clark, Jayna's usual Dr and the two main researchers Sarah and Daisy.  Jayna went through her FIFTH full eye exam in less than a year (sixth if you include the freebie she had courtesy of the Lion's Club and Mr Fuller at school).

She caught me trying to take a picture and tried to block me haha

This is the 90 day follow up after her study began, and the end to it..  During this appointment, we learned Jayna HAS improved her eye muscles strength level by 50% and are hoping that in 6 month she will be w/i the normal range and no longer considered to have Convergence Insufficiency.  That would be awesome, but I won't expect it as that seems way to easy.  When we were meeting with Daisy and Sarah, they let Jayna play one round on the other game so she could choose which one she wanted the full copy of.  Jayna had the original game, we quickly learned and the new one is much more modern and more of what people who have played a video game since 1993  would expect.However, to get progress we are awaiting her new game/system to be mailed in April.  Her vision therapy one was only a "trial" where you play 100 times and then, that is that.  So we are already beyond it and awaiting the new more fun game.

Game she's been playing (and complaining about)... looks super exciting right?

Since the new one hasn't been released yet I can't post a picture, nor do I have one.  It is played on a computer with a Xbox controller and it is a car game.  So way more modern.  Anyhow we got out of the appointment just before 12, hit cook out for a milkshake and chicken nuggets for Jayna and drove quickly back to Lynchburg so Jayna could join her class in their field trip.

So, we got to the Ploughcroft Tea Room down town with a whole 2 minutes to spare!

The kids were very excited.  It was still during the restaurant's lunch time, but really the kids did very well for a short handed restaurant with only 1 waiter.  Although very efficient one person and one cook can only do so much when you get a group of 17--- although we had called a week in advance!

a big highlight: sugar cubes

cream for your English tea

Pastor Mike git the honor of hosting the girl's table  

Jayna's kids plate: PBJ, fruit and cheese, mom's plate of a chicken, mushroom pastry and salad

comfy by the fire

typical Ms. Jeannie: always has time for conversation with her kids 

All the kids got a tea, a kids meal and a scone.  Some of the kids weren't tea fans so they got apple juice or hot chocolate.  The adults got a meal of their choice, and paying ;-).  I got chicken curry.  Although good, was a tad bit spicy for my likings.  Every table had a real tea setting with unique cups, no two the same.  The kids liked the experience although near the end and the long wait for food they did understandable get restless.
