I got a doctor to agree with me about my crazy left-hemisphere viral brain injury theory. :)
Today was our first in depth vision therapy evaluation. Same OD that we saw for the preliminary one. Dominic did pretty well. He was squirmy, but chilled out when i let him fiddle with my phone between tests. First they did basic vision test - look at the pictures on the wall. We went with animals. Love that it was an option. When he uses both of his eyes, he is seeing about 20/20. He is seeing better than I do with glasses. I gave the Doc the primitive reflex test results our OT's did a few weeksd ago and he was blown away that the majority were retained the the right side / left brain hemisphere. He AGREES WITH ME!!!!! I seriously am ecstatic. He's also incredibly impressed that I not only got the insurance to pay for Vision therapy, I got them to do it at an in network rate. Apparently thats a first for his clinic.
We then moved on to timing how fast Dominic put together a puzzle and filled out a peg board. Dominic was pretty quick. Then we went to the big TV with 3d glasses that tracks a lot of things. The one that stuck with me was how well his eyes work together. Its about 65% when going left to right and about 60% when going in a circle. Apparently this is pretty good for a first test.
Next week we do round 2. Then the following week we get the treatment plan. We are so excited. I feel so validated about my brain injury theory. It also explains why all forms of HBOT have helped significantly over the years. My next project is to manifest a way to get more HBOT. Anyone want to gift us a soft chamber? (stop laughing, i'm only a little kidding)
