The LIGHT at the end....

When Alli was coloring this she said, "You know, everything I see is clear now, I can even color better!"

What an amazing kid, she worked so hard all summer long, she never complained about having to get out of the pool to do her therapy, she never complained when Jill got to go on special trips with Shane but she couldn't go because we had therapy left to do. 

 Alli and I have worked so hard and so consistently that her therapy is coming to an end, ALREADY!!  When we started on this journey I was hoping that we could finish it in 6 months.  Her last appointment is scheduled for August 30th and that will be 20 weeks, 4.5 months (120+ hours).

Current story she can read to me

She will start third grade completely caught up (actually, she is beyond where she needs to be!).  I think our school days are going to be way different than before.  Prior to Vision Therapy Alli would start yawning and have red, teary eyes after 15 minutes.  Now, we consistently work for 45 minutes at a time and she is never tired at the end.  What a life changing MIRACLE this has been for her.

She chooses on her own time to write these little stories.  Although her spelling is still mostly phonetic, she is LIGHT YEARS past where she was!

Thank you so much to everyone for all the amazing support you have shown to Alli, Jill, Shane and I.  This has been a difficult journey, but made so much easier by having so many out there to support us.  It has meant so much to me especially, I can be so hard on myself, so THANK YOU!!!

Shane goes back to work on Monday.  (BOOHOO!!!)  Our routine days will start up again.  Maybe I will actually get our Spring Break trip to Colorado posted on the blog!!  Only 4.5 months late.....I wonder why?

Alli's current coloring project.  She says, "I could not have colored this before my eyes were fixed. I can see all the little lines now."
