The Hanna Family

The above frames are what we chose for Jonah (vote above on what color we should choose!) through the Disney line. My goodness, frames and lenses are expensive...even for babies. Next time I think we'll buy his frames online. It is a good thing that Kern Regional offered to reimburse us this time as our insurance won't pay for the glasses.

Also, good news. The director of Blind Babies Foundation agreed to meet with Shane, I and Jonah on Saturday morning. We are taking the long drive down to Visalia to get a sturdy Little Room and Resonance Board. She was so kind, she isn't charging us for the materials but asked that we return them after Jonah grows out of them. I was so excited! She suggested we use the Little Room built out of sturdy wood as it will coordinate better with the Resonance Board (Shane and I were going to put one together out of a cardboard box). She also is going to spend time with Jonah, assess him and give us good ideas of what we can do at home to work with him.

In other good news, I heard from our case manager today and she was able to speak with the Visual Impairment specialist of the school district. He has decades of experience and also has a blind daughter. He is taking on Jonah's case and is going to see if we can't get him some in home services that would work.

So it seems that the squeaky wheel has indeed got the grease this go around. Hard work has paid off!!!
