Dim the Lights

Since our meeting Monday night, we have been using dimmer lights at home, and arranging Buddy so the lights are behind him, shining on us.  The difference has been amazing.  It is obvious that he CAN see us, and he responds by smiling at us when he looks at our faces.

People with OA have trouble with glare, which we knew, but we didn't realize that our lights were so bright that they were "blinding" him.  I kept thinking that if he had trouble seeing, he needed more light, but in his case, just the opposite is true.  The house is a little dark for my taste, but if it helps Buddy see better, I will definitely do it.  We have been so excited to see his progress since we made the change.
