I have 7 living kiddos and my youngest, Sarahrose, was born with double and blurry vision since birth. She is 8 and goes to First Place Scholars charter school for homeless families in Seattle- Raineir Valley.  She is struggling to read and is at a kindergarten level. I am hooked up with. Ms. Janet with the services for the blind in Seattle. I am waiting for the school for the blind to figure out how to access her, as she is in washington's very first public charter school. She does see Dr. Hamilton at Swedish in 2 weeks for her first comprehensive vision exam.
