It's Messy Right Now

We face a big decision with Lucas's treatment. There are a few options at this point.

Option 1-Visual therapy at an optical clinic in town
Positives:
-Therapy done 2x week by a professional therapist for 30 minutes-1 hour
-They have a 97% success rate
-It's 6 months-1 year
-He'll be evaluated and watched by a professional
-Includes APD Therapy as well but not the focus
Negatives:
-It is $5000-$10000 ($5000-6 months worth)

Option 2-
Positives:
-APD Therapy done 5x week by ME (mom) for 3-4 HOURS a day
-It's 12 months-18 months long
-He'll be evaluated by a professional every 4 months
-Includes Visual Therapy as well
-Half the price
Negatives:
-It is $2000-$3000 ($2000 for 1 year)
-How will we school when this takes 3 hours a day?
-Longer program

So there we are. Two difficult programs. One more difficult financially, one more daily/physically. Neither are guaranteed. So, we discuss and we pray..and on top of this is the mess we must figure out.
