I thought I would post about the vision issues. We really do not know how bad it is and it may not be as bad as we think right now. It is an ever present issue, though, so we tend to think the worst, I suppose. Imagine, for instance, walking down the street, and think about all the thousands of minor corrections you make without conscious thought. When you come to a curb, you step down without pause and up the other side, again, without pause. Now imagine you cannot gauge the step or how close you are to it. You have to slow down, use one foot to test the pavement, find the step, readjust your distance to the step, find it again with your foot, then step down. Now, since you don't know if it is one or two steps, you repeat the process to establish that the pavement is in fact level. When you get to the curb up, it starts all over again. Also imagine that you can perceive different colors of flooring, say a black border on white tile, but you cannot perceive that there is no difference in height, so you stop and use your foot to test the floor. Now imagine inclines, and the hardest of all escalators. We actually have to pick him up for these. Crosswalks are killers, too, black, white, black, white, etc. with traffic coming.

We brought him matchbox cars, which he does not like, but does like the bigger cars we bought here. I don't think he can see the small ones well enough to play with them. I don't know if he saw anything at the zoo.
