We rented a condo on the beach in Haleiwa (North Shore) last month and loved it. Almost private beach right out the door, great water, coral reefs, etc. Sleeping at night hearing the wind and waves crashing the beach. In a condo you also have the option of cooking in when the kids are tired and cranky.
If you've seen a pic of my kid, you probably noticed he has Blepharophimosis. (In laymans terms, he has small eyes.) he'll need surgery at his next base, and the closest place to Cannon is Albequerque, four hours away. Not sure if they'll move me to another base because of that.
what does that surgery entail?
Basically, they take muscle and attach his lid to his eyebrow. Then probably another surgery to reshape his eyes and remove excess skin. (Look up the lector muscle function and/or BPES for more info.)
At the airport in maui waiting to go back to LA...will post pix later!

I have a nephew who had this done. Pretty standard stuff or so I was led to believe but I can understand wanting a really good doc doing it.
Got any more of your kid's teacher?
I think it was the fact that it was the distance it would take to go to a specialist at Cannon. (3 1/2 hours). Another consideration is that they have to reshape the skin around his eye (since it's not just ptosis... technically it's BPES). But yeah, I definitely want to do my research.
Another consideration is why would he even want to open his eyes in Clovis?I think it was the fact that it was the distance it would take to go to a specialist at Cannon. (3 1/2 hours).

Maybe if he had been born without a nose, it would've been the perfect place...
