Good days

Braden has had several good days in a row. We were even to all four get out the door together for church this morning. That was nice.

Last week we started dealing with a different issue with Braden his medical issues of course take front row but he has some other things that need attention too. We started looking into those this past week. I have thought for sometime Braden has something preventing him from being a good reader. It turns out there is he has an issue with his eye called Esotopia. This makes reading very difficult. She stated it like this: if you have 100% energy to do a job and you use 80% of the energy just to get to the job you are not going to be able to do a good job. Hopefully about 6 months of vision therapy should help tremendously and get him reading at grade level. We are hopeful. I think this will help so much with his confidence.

They have determined the weird episodes he had were seizures. Which is not a good thing but it is good that it is not a new issue.

This and that

Braden has went about 6 days without an episode of his heart rate dropping. Still don't know what caused it. He does have several appointments this week. We are also trying to devote some attention to his visual and auditory difficulties with reading and learning. It just seems that everytime we try to start on this area a more pressing medical area intervenes and must be dealt with. But we are trying to get a lot of things done for him right now and trying to get with doctors that are more on board with the treatment plans that we think work best etc. Right now he is doing good.
