God provides scholarship to summer camp!!!

http://preteen.kidsforthenations.com/

I am so excited for my son! He gets to attend the Christ for the Nations Pre-teen Impact overnight camp in July. The camp is in Dallas, TX (our home state). The school was kind enough to offer him a full scholarship to go. All I had to do was send a detailed email explaining our current situation, and they approved it. He and I will be flying to Dallas to visit friends, family, and of course so he can go to camp. I attended the Youth for the Nations camp at CFNI when I was 15 and it was life changing awesomsauce! I expect great things for him during his 3 day adventure.

Life has been frustrating as of late due to slow doctors. We STILL don't have the results from his ERG test at Pali Momi, as the doctor there seems to think we can wait until next Christmas to know what is what. I don't suppose it really matters at this point though...The results of that test will tell us which don't work, cones or rods in the retina. Either way, there won't be any changes whatsoever to his treatment or follow-ups.

Speaking of follow-ups, the one with Dr. Yeun last week was encouraging. He prescribed polycarbonate, polarized lenses for Gabe in order to protect his eyes from sun and accidental trauma due to sports or life in general. He stressed that it is imperitive that we maximize the remaining vision.

Appointment at HoOpono Low Vision Center in July.
