He was blind, but now he sees?

The most amazing thing is happening. Tanner is regaining some of his vision. He is still legally blind, but the little retinal ganglion cells in his optic nerve are firing back up again. This can happen sometimes with Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy. They don't know why. They don't know if it's permanent.

How cute is this guy? The book was a joke gift for his 16th birthday
Tanner is currently eligible and has been accepted into the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind, and is scheduled to start January 13. If he totally regains his sight, he won't have to go. He has already lost much time because of this, but what can we do?
