Hi Mandy,

You say that Dean doesn't see sign language well, but what about tactile
sign language? Years ago I went to the Deaf-Blind conference and it was amazing
the different ways of communicating. It is SOOOO crucial to get that language
development at a very early age...which I'm sure you know, but more crucial when
they are younger than older. Young I mean infant. Five years old is consdiered
old in early language development :-)

SOrry about the catarcts...I had cataract surgery when I was 13 and then
the other eye when I was 33. Amazing of the technology for cataracts 20 years
later.....it is wonderful that I still see 11 years after the surgery with the
high myopia and retinal deterioration. My eye is hanging in there...I only see
out of one eye!

I hope Dean's cataract surgery is GREAT success and he does see 20/20, I
can only see about 20/60.
