Kimball’s confirmed blindness was one of the most torturous diagnoses to receive. And yet, I knew. I had known for months that he couldn’t see us. Our sliding glass door had his heart and his eyes. It had the smiles and the “goo”s far longer than a typical newborn. At 5 months, he hadn’t once looked at our faces. And the lack of visual connection was destroying my heart.
Listen to hear what it was like to have this fear confirmed at a time I was barely holding it together with everything else that we were dealing with. And learn what unexpected outcome and emotions have come with time.
