Brodie's eye appointment went very well. His eye has improved to the 20/50 level with the glasses (it started out at 20/200 with a strong lens). The goal is 20/40 and that is only one line away, so he's done fantastic. The plan is to keep using the patch "as much as possible" in the next few months, to get as much progress as we can before Grade 1 starts. I got the impression that they didn't think 25 hours a week was enough. So, hopefully we'll meet (or even exceed) the goal by September/09 and be done with the patch. He still doesn't have 'binocliar' vision, which means he doesn't use both eyes together and has no depth perception, but that could still come.

So glad to hear about Brodies's eye appointment. That's great news. Wow couldn't believe you painted the other day. Good for you. You are amazing. Remember we're praying and loving you from here in Portage.
That is terrific news. Good going Brodie
you don't know me but I found my way here through Noah's site. I have/had severe strabismus and amblyopea. I am now 32 and have no binocular vision and little depth perception. if you ever have any questiobs feel free to email me. alisab.ca@gmail.com My almost 4 year old also is patched now.
Brodie,
That is so exciting about your one eye getting trained to work just like other other one, JUST with a cool patch!!! Doctors are amazing and you are so lucky to be in good hands.
Grade one will be wonderful, the teacher and your fiends will love your ideas and your creativity. YOU ROCK!
