My Sweet Boy

It's a strange and sad time for me, mixed with blessing to get a glimpse into the world that Lucas lives in.  Having been diagnosed with dyslexia in first grade, it wasn't until the last few weeks that I am just now grasping how this affects his world.  Through a blessing, I was sitting in the cps office and picked up an outdated free issue of North Texas Child.  An article described a new lens called the Chromagen lens for people with dyslexia.  Thus began our new journey.  From the article we found a doctor near us that has given us huge insight and help in getting special glasses for Lucas.  From the article a discussion began between Lucas & I that tells me how things wiggle, move, jump in and out.  He's since described how doing Fast Math for school on the computer is so challenging for him as the math facts flash onto the screen and how they move around for him.  Tonight as we are watching tv, he says that sometimes the scene moves.  My sweet boy.  My smart boy.  To be able to talk about this and to possibly have a fix for this with his new glasses tomorrow.  I am so hopeful and so is he.  Sitting in the cps office, the beginning of a new hope for Lucas.  I am so thankful.
