Sheesh. Poor kid. Hope he doesn't break them too quickly.
Wife got the more 'spensive flexible (non-breakable) frames and he got to pick out the ones he wanted. So, I think he'll be okay.
Wife is feeling guilty because this is one of the things that could happen with prematurity. I told her we are fortunate that this is ~all~ we've had to deal with. The asthma isn't really even an issue anymore.
