On Monday, our first day of week 2 at the Chicago clinic, we helped 386 kids.
Caviniona had some very insiriing kids come through her department which was the dilation room.

Caviniona had this to say...
"Today I met some cool kids. One lil guy name Anthony had surgery about a month ago b/c of seizures and was super excited to be able to get his glasses today. He wanted to do everything and was happy to do it and was polite! He was certainly the highlight of my day helping him made me realize how blessed I am."- Caviniona

Today was a rough day in the lab where we made all those glasses. We had some tempermental machines that held us up for a long night, and left jobs for Tuesday. A lot of the team had to pull together to troubleshoot the edgers and their antics.

And the jobs they left behind...

It was a long day, but we made it through and had a great, insulting dinner at Ed Debevic's.
This restaurant is known for having costumed/themed waiters who insult you while they serve you. It was a fun time for all and a great way to wind down.

Here we are with our hats on and our waitress "The Rockette" in the background.

What a great way to begin the second week of clinic!
