My littlest neice...

Katie Lynn, has just had a preliminary diagnosis that she is blind. At her 2 month well baby check, the doctor asked if she had any concerns and Dawn said that they noticed that she never looks at people. So the doctor did some testing and said that it looks as tho' she is blind. They are supposed to have some further testing to determine the details. My sister really has her hands full these days. She has 3 kids ages: 3, 2 and 2 months. She is an on-again, off-again single mother, depending on whether her and the father of her children are together or not. I've been starting to scope out blind resources and finding suppliers for braille books. I hope that my sister beginning looking into resources like Birth to Three or whatever they have in PA. She is really going to need to work on her advocating skills and fight for what Katie Lynn needs and is entitled to wrt education and services.

Of course, when I told Ahren about Katie Lynn, one of her first comments was "oh, she can get a service dog!" Ahren is sooo into dogs these days.
