Default Good news from the opthamologist

James had a follow up with the opthamologist yesterday. He hasn't been tracking objects or focusing since his last apnea/brady's episode that ended with him being trached, and they diagnosed him as having central blindness. At the follow up he responded to lights and the doctor got him to track up pretty well, but only side to side a little bit. He's pretty opthamistic that James' vision will improving more. He still may be legally blind, but we know he can see a little now.
