Never have I imagined that I'd be searching for iPad apps for children with CVI (Cortical Visual Impairment) - that is, visual problems caused by the brain rather than the eyes. We were suspecting (including the optometrist) whether he has optic nerve atrophy just a few months ago, but today we are seeing the impact of ONA already.

It's getting almost impossible to take a nice picture with Jason as he doesn't seem to be able to locate the camera and his pupils are not responding to light at a normal speed. His smile seems to go with the vision too. It's sad....but we will not let this defeat us. We will continue to live life to the fullest as long as there is love. I am still hopeful that this could also be a teenage thing and that I will be able to show off his adorable smiles again.
Meanwhile, I have a prayer request for my little boy (correction: Big Boy): that he will be able to maintain or even regain his vision so he can continue to learn and experience this beautiful world around him and that he will continue to be surrounded by people who care about him and nurture him everywhere he goes.
Love can move mountains. Nothing is impossible.
Miracles are still in progress....
