Glasses

Bernie had an appointment with the eye doctor, the examination showed a significant reduction in eye movement especially looking downward. He also stated that his eyes are not working in unison with each other which is a muscle issue. We ordered him glasses with prism in them hoping that this will help, I will check in later to let you know. He also mentioned that he had two patients that had had strokes and were having issues with their eyes working together; he recommended that they take vitamin B complex daily, and stated that it worked for them. He saw noted improvement in their eye movement and recommended that we try it for Bernie. So we started that yesterday and I will see what a month brings and let you know, if it works in helping him to read I think it is worth letting others know. Bernie loves to read and it is about all he can do these days so we are willing to try just about anything. We still have not heard anything back on the wheelchair, whether it is approved by our insurance or not, hoping to hear something soon. They did tell us it could take 3 to 4 months so I don’t want to push them too much at this point. That’s all for now…..
