Hi. I just wanted to say hi. I have a 19 month old son with a vision impairment. He was born at full term and over 8 lbs but when he was 4 days old he was diagnosed with PSPV which is a lot like ROP but it is in full term babies...his retinas were both detached and he had a surgery at 2 weeks and 3 weeks to reattach them...he is doing well and wears glasses we think that he sees a few feet but aren't sure...he just started crawling in May and is just now starting to cruise...I am sure we have a lot of differences in our little guys but I just wanted to share and say that I understand how you feel when you see other babies his age running and jumping...I feel the same way...but your right when you say when they do do it it makes it all the sweeter :) If you ever want to visit my blog http://daviddrakespot.blogspot.com/ that is the address...oh and I love Min Pins! we have five of them!! :D Good luck with everything :)
Seth & I met in Kindergarten, we went to school together for 13 years but didn't start dating until the summer before our senior year of high school. After college, we were blessed with a beautiful baby boy. Colton was born in 2007 at 23 weeks and fought for his life in the NICU for 6 long months. He is the strongest little boy I know, he's my hero. I married Seth in 2008 and we live happily with our first son in Kentucky. Colton is blind and has severe developmental delays and mild cerebral palsy due to his early birth but we all work hard everyday to make sure he has the beautiful life we all know he deserves. We thank God daily for all he has given us. We live by the verse "Everything is possible for him who believes." Mark 9:23
