thanks for the response, I certainly wasn't expecting one so I appreciate you taking time to do this. I think what you're doing is helping to put this topic on many people's minds. Keep up the good work and positive attitude, it's infectious to those around you, likely more than you know.

Your answer to my question is fascinating, I never really thought about him equating "see" to "feeling" but that makes sense (no pun intended). He's a cool lil dude for sure and obviously your family and now Reddit is very proud of him. I rewatched the video last night and it's remarkable what a powerful thing that is to see him accomplish what we take for granted.

best of luck on the medical front, I wish some politicians weren't blocking stem cell research due to their personal beliefs especially when it was in it's infancy. I think we'd be a bit further along by now. I've seen videos of people who have regained hearing due to advances in technology and I really hope that Gavin gets an opportunity to share a similar experience with his vision. Please keep us updated on his progress.

I just came to say what a great attitude your son has, loved the video and wow I learned more about blindness in 30 minutes than I have in my whole life. Thanks for doing the AMA. Does Gavin understand the difference in his own level of vision and yours?
