Peyton had an eye appointment and then chemo after that. His vision remained stable from last month's check-up so we are happy!! He hasn't lost any more vision and we remain hopeful this new treatment will continue to prevent that. Treatment went well and Peyton breezed right through it. We love the "easy weeks!"
Peyton is considered legally blind so accommodations will need to continue to be made at school. He will start kindergarten next year and will be a dual reader. He will be learning Braille but will learn to read regular text too. He will have work translated to Braille, and then regular print materials enlarged enough for him to use his vision to complete the assignments. It will be extra work for him and the teachers, but he'll be given lots of opportunities to be successful. We just hope he continues to love school as much as he does right now! The teachers at Trinity Lutheran have been so wonderful and play a large part in his love for school. I can't say enough wonderful things about the whole school and its staff members. They love kids there and it really shows. I can't believe I'll be sending him off to Kindergarten. Time flies too quickly....
