Thanks to Aunt Vivian and Uncle Butch!!!

We just had our second re-evaluation appointment last night and Michael is doing very well. The Doctor said that his tracking problems have gone away and that while his spacial reasoning adequate, he would like to see more from him. He said that his main thing that he wants to see Michael do is to is work harder and improve his scanning ability. He does pretty well scanning vertically. His biggest weak point right now is his horizontal scanning which they have some very targeted exercises to build these skills that they will do at the office and give us a kit to take home and work with 3 times a week on top of the office visits. It is going to be really hard to get him over there during marching band so I am happy about the kit that he will be able too continue to make progress even though their schedule and our schedule will not match up well until after marching band is over. We have about 2 months worth of visits left but we probably will not be able to use them all up and get a final report until November or December.

Thanks to Aunt Vivian and Uncle Butch for paying for Michael's vision therapy! Yesterday I saw Michael converge on an object all the way to his nose! This was a BIG, BIG difference from what we saw a few months ago where he lost the object about a foot from his face. He feels that his reading is better and I agree with him and would add that his comprehension is also improved! He still does not care to read but I do see him choose reading a comic book over video games every now and then which NEVER would have happened before.

Thank you Aunt Vivian and Uncle Butch!!! We Love you!
