[blindkid] CBS story on decline in braille

[Carly B]

Holly,

Thank you so much for sharing! I was impressed both by Hank and you! You are
a wonderful, articulate advocate for Braille! You said all the right things!


I thought I heard the commentator say that Hank has a progressive eye
condition and that his sight is getting worse. Is that correct or was that a
mistake? I ask because I thought it might leave the impression that his
present sight is acceptable for print, but he is getting Braille because he
might get worse. If his only condition is albinism, then it's not getting
worse, right? It was only a blip and I'm probably one of the few who noticed
it because our situation is so similar to yours.

Thanks again, Holly. Has the school district responded in any way?
