CJ's Journey

I'm feeling very called to blog about this journey with CJ.  As you know, CJ has dyslexia and we have now discovered another issue with his right eye.  We are seeing 2 specialists this week that I hope answer prayers and questions.  I feel that the visits this week are going to lead us to some difficult decisions but I do feel that after the treatments, CJ will see things in this world like he never has before.
I pray the Lord puts us on the path with the correct therapist and that CJ can be assisted through the therapies.  I don't pray for healing because I truly feel there is a reason CJ has dyslexia and is on this path.  This is the way God wanted CJ and I would never pray to change that.  I only pray that I can put the resources in his path that he needs to help him.  I feel like God has put that in MY path.  There are so many people working to assist CJ on a daily basis.  God single handedly chose each of those people to put in CJ's path.  I will forever be grateful and so so thankful for those individuals.
CJ is the epitome of this verse.

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Another Milestone Met!

Just past another milestone!  I noticed on his math facts that he has done very well on subtraction.  I also noticed the last 2 days he has written all of his numbers correctly - in the correct direction.  I asked him about it and if he did something different and he said - I just thought of it in my brain and all the numbers "point" this way (he pointed to the left). I said OH!  Great job buddy. So obviously something has "clicked" in his mind about the orientation of numbers. I'm so proud of him!!! In the eye therapy world this month he has to do right and left exercises.  The doctor explained it would help with orientation of his body in this world.  Not sure it was the exercises alone but something "clicked" for him over the past 2 weeks!!!

We were doing eye therapy tonight and I was asking CJ about how he sees words.  He said they get jumbled up when I look at them.  I said how do they jumble up?  he said they jumble up then look normal.  I said how fast?  He said you count and I'll tell you. I asked him if he could draw me a picture of what it looked like.  So he did.  And when we counted, it was 1-2 - jumbled.  1-2 normal.  1-2 normal  So we then tried it with his glasses on.  He said - no.  Clear.  Perfect.  Like they look on the paper.  I said are you sure?  We did several tests and each time he said they were jumbled or dots and each time we put the glasses on, the words were normal. Between each switch, I let his eyes rest for a few seconds.  Just to be sure we were giving them enough time to rest between glasses and no glasses.  I made him look at the same words on the pages as well. I tried the same test on his Hart chart (the one on the wall).  He said there were a lot of dots and they were j
