The news I'd feared was confirmed this week as we were told that Daniel would need glasses to correct problems with his eyes.
I'm so gutted for the little man - I just hope as its been caught early that wearing them for a couple of years will mean he won't need them at all later. We saw a nice specialist in Cirencester who confirmed what the hospital had said and told us the risks involved if we just left it.
Obviously there was no choice. We've found some nice ones with black/green sides so they look like Ben 10 glasses. My main concern is that he isn't teased at school because if he is I'll go ballistic.
He's been through enough already with the helmet. I know it's not the end of the world but I just want to take the problems away from him and give them to me. We have to make sure as little fuss is made of them as possible and Mum will be buying him an identical pair but as sunglasses (which he's used to wearing anyway).
This weekend he got a very deserved Player Of The Week trophy at training. Very proud.
