second opinion

lesson learned today - Always Get A Second Opinion.

went to see an eye Dr today. not an optomotrist but an opthalmologist.
Did another peripheral vision test on Sam. With a technician with years and years of experience. different, more accurate technology. She spent a lot of time working with Sam to get accurate results.

I did not tell her why I was there ahead of time. Just that some test results were disturbing and I wanted a second opinion.

Sam's vision is 20/20 and her peripheral is PERFECT.

Did you hear that?
It was a HUGE Audible Sigh of Relief.

and now I think - what was the purpose in all this????
gut-wrenching anger and sadness

Hmmmm.
Well I did end up doing some research on Vision Therapy and how it can help kids with brain injuries and ADHD and Dyslexia.
There is an clinic in Plano that specializes in this type of therapy.

So I think maybe the purpose was to bring this new therapy to my attention. I am a no-stone-left-unturned kinda mom - so perhaps it was to bring me to this stone.

who knows.

just glad to let go of that renewed feeling of loss...
