When Charlie Claire had her surgery mine and Jason's biggest concern was the vision loss. We knew going into surgery she would lose the vision on the right side of each eye since the surgeon was removing her left occipital lobe. We do think that vision has been one of her biggest hurdles and since starting vision therapy in July last year we have seen some amazing changes!
She seems so much more confident visually which makes her more comfortable trying new things. She has always loved the park but has steered clear of ladders preferring steps since they were easier for her. In the past month though she has made significant progress on the playground! Same goes for working on letters and writing. She is much more interested lately and we think the credit really goes to her vision therapist and our nanny, Kristen, for working endlessly on C's "homework" with her.
If this kind of therapy is available in your area and your little has vision issues I highly, highly recommend looking into. I truly feel this has been one of the best things we have done for Charlie Claire.
