April 24th we went to specialist #2 for a second opinion on Noah's eyes. This Dr. was compassionate and wonderful in all ways, much unlike Dr. #1. He does not want to classify Noah as legally blind at this time, for he is certain he has vision - although the question still is, "But how far can he see?" We will wait until Noah is older & can read an eye chart... We got to spend a good hour+ with the specialist & he answered all of our questions, along with stating that a nystagmus has nothing to do with intelligence.
We now have to have an ERG test done up at Strong over the summer, just to make sure everything "inside" is A-ok, which he was certain things will be, because of the rate Noah is developing. OT & PT tests came back and Noah scored in the 91st percentile... WAY above average, praise the Lord!
We're getting there, it seems like a long road, but thank you all who are praying & continue to do so. We currently have the Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) coming twice a month, rather than weekly - that, too, is a blessing.
God is faithful & I'm so glad we have found a specialist who loves children, who is kind, and who is willing to work with us & Noah as we travel down this road.
By the way, Dr. #1 said Noah would never be able to feed himself... this picture shows otherwise. Noah is a pro at eating his Gerber Puffs!
