Opthamologist

One of the many doctors we saw in patient was a opthamologist. When people gather Matthew's history and I explain that he is not tracking/looking at us well, they ask if he's ever seen an opthamologist. I always say no, but nobody ever has followed up with suggesting an exam.

The RN came in the room at 5AM to dilate his eyes and by 610 AM, the opthamolgist came in. I'm sure I looked great. He examined Matthew's eyes and he said there is no damage to his eyes nor any structural damage.

The opthamologist said that Matthew would be a candidate for the organization Center for the Blind. The doctor said he hates the name of the organization because it's for anyone visually impaired.

The organization has already contacted me and they will be coming in my home to do an assessment to see if they will be able to help with visual therapy/activities.

That's great! Do they have that in Florida too?
