Eye Appointment.

My fears have been confirmed. My baby girl with the most gorgeous blue eyes cannot see out of them, as of now. The structure as far as nerves and such are perfectly normal, it's just her brain not processing the images. In the beginning of the appointment I had hope. He said the structure looked good and she had a slight astigmatism but didn't need glasses for it right now. Then he kept testing and she wasn't reacting. Even though I had an inkling this may be the case, I am completely heartbroken my baby girl doesn't know her mommy and daddy's faces. Every smile she's given has just been a coincidence, not because she saw me smiling and I made it happen. I hope wish and pray this is just temporary while her brain is trying to figure out how to process light and images. He put in a referral with a geneticists so we should be hearing about an appointment time in a week or so. I don't know what I'm going to do if this is genetic...I know I won't be having anymore children, though there will be some very happy orphans because I will go on an adoption spree! Part of me is still in denial & I can't say that will ever really go away.

    I'm very sorry to hear this :( I hope that one day Naysa will know her mummy and daddy's faces and will recognise them even when never seeing them. She's a beautiful girl, and I would give her the world if I could! The best of luck! <3

    It is the hardest thing to hear that the our child has something wrong with them. I remember when I heard my son had a brain injury/damage from a placental abruption at birth, we didnt find out until he was 19 months old. But I want to reassure you that your daughter is a fighter just to get where she is today, and she will overcome!! My son did, and learned to rise above his limitations no matter what they were! Our prayers are with you!

    She might be smiling at the sound of your voices, though! I hope and pray this will work itself out...the human body is pretty miraculous in and of itself :)

    Ashlyn - I am grammy to the 5 Diaz children + Holden and I just have to comment. Courtney and I discussed how sad you were that Naysa didn't actually respond to your smile or your faces - Oh yes, she does! She knows you from the inside out! She knows your heartbeat, the depth of love you have for her and for God, the smell of you, the sound of your voice. Her sight is so much better than we can imagine. And I believe she has seen God....and sees you through His eyes. We are praying for full sight for this precious one. Know you are loved and prayed for tenaciously! God bless you all, In His Love, grammy (Claudia) Duncan
