Update

It has been so long since I have updated our blog. My computer has something wrong with it, and won't open blogs so I can only do this when I am at another computer. Anyways we have had a great few months. We started our second round of genetic testing at Primary Childrens 3 weeks ago. The bloodwork is sent to Denver to be tested and should only take about 3-4 weeks this round instead of 9 months. The genes they are testing for are the "rare" genes that cause Lebers, and I feel like they won't find a gene again, but I am OK with that. I just want to make sure that I have done everything possible in finding a gene, so I can move on!! They took me and Willy's blood too for testing so we will see what happens.
Reese is still going to preschool in Ogden twice a month and loves it, her teacher is really good with her, and I love to visit with her because she has two visually impaired children, so it is good therapy for me as well!
Reese is getting big some of the things she picks up on just amaze me. She can say her ABC's and what sounds they make and words that start with that letter now. Her Grandma Branch gave her flashcards that have the letters and sounds on them and we read them a lot and she has picked up on them so quick!!
Reese is also learning to use her starter cane!! She is so good at getting around with it, and loves to run it into things. We meet with her O&M specialist at the school for the Deaf and Blind twice monthly and they work on her cane skills. Her picture is in the hall of the school using her cane, and they call her their little model child!!
Her other favorite thing that cracks me up lately is she loves to play with her older cousin Miles. Miles loves to play with my cell phone and talks on it and then tells me the cops are coming to take me to jail. So last night Reese picks up my phone and starts talking and says Hi-- the cops are coming!!! Miles and Reese are definately trouble together!!! They love to play!!
Well I will update again when we get our genetic testing results back and hopefully get some new pics posted!
