A bit of good news - we take it where we can get it.

My son finally got his eye exam and we received his prescription in the mail.  My husband rushed out to purchase glasses so they could be put in the mail to him.  He's now been wandering around blind for about four weeks.  Truly.  His vision without glasses is about 20/400.  We did our part now I hope they get the glasses to him asap.

AND we were all "approved" to visit.  As if there was any doubt.  But we jumped through the hoops and made it.  But, we can't visit just yet.  Even though he has been classified, it's not showing up in the computer system yet.  Until that happens, it would be a wasted trip.  We can call back the end of the week to check if the paperwork has gone through.  As soon as it does, we'll take a Saturday or Sunday and drive down.  We haven't seen him in a month so it will be good to actually see his face.

But the other big "if" is another move.  It could happen anytime - or not.  Hopefully he will at least get his glasses before then.  It would be great if we get to see him before then.  If he gets moved, we have to reapply for visitation.  So many hoops.

To be continued...
