Busy! Busy! Busy

August has been a very busy month. Lots of doctors appts and lots of news.

The beginning of the month we went to Boston for Noah's eye apt and VEP testing. The VEP test showed that Noah had very poor vision but vision all the same. The test measured his eyesight at 20/190 in the right eye and 20/232 in the left eye. They also agreed with the eye doctor in Maine that Noah does have Central Vision Impairment. All his eye structures are perfect but what the brain See's is something different because of his brain malformations. Boston also found that he was near sighted and also has a astigmatism. They gave us a prescription for eye glasses for him. They are hoping if they clear up the picture that the brain sees it will help Noah with his vision! We will try it!

We also met with Noah's scoliosis Doctor this month. So a year ago Noah's curve in his back was 34 degrees...this year it had only moved 6 degrees and he measured at 40 degrees. This isn't great but it was OK. The doctor says he isn't worried until he gets to 60 degrees but wants to keep a yearly checkup going. It was a little encouraging because the last apt his curve had changed 13 degrees so what we are doing is slowing things done. He said to continue the laying him on the opposite side of his curve and using the stander. I think the kenesio tape and chiropractor is helping too.

Next we went to the dentist. Noah has cavities in the back of the mouth mostly on his left side. Which is mostly because he is more sensitive on this side of his whole body. I'm waiting for a phone call to set up a OR visit and they are going to cap his teeth and pull any lose teeth as well. I'm nervous because of the need of anesthesia but I know he will do fine.

My knee is still doing about the same. Been doing my exercises most of the time (Ive missed a few days) it is doing a little better but Im still struggling with it quite a bit. Off the crutches mostly. Still using them for the stairs and when the knee begins to get sore. Wish I could snap my fingers and have it healed.

We are working on getting ready for Noahs fundraiser dinner. Its going to be on September 15th from 4:00pm-7:30PM. Hopefully it wont be HOT and we will have a better turn out!!!
