I'm reading through my letters and responding to letters that apply to my
daughter. Her lession are C-2 to C-5. She also has eye problems. The
neurologist thinks there was some lessions on the optic nerve. She sees
double all the time. She has something call nystagmus(?) where her eyes
bounce all the time. Unfortunately they say there's nothing that could be
done for it. She also gets dizzy very easy.
