My husband & I have 7 children,(4 sons together & we have 3 daughters who were my brother girls until he & his wife were killed escaping the North Tower in the WTC attacks on 9/11. They made it from the 70th floor to the 6th floor when the building collapsed) our youngest son was not even 3 weeks old when this happened & the girls were 7 weeks, 18 months & 34 months at the time. Since our 7 week old daughter had been breast fed & I was nursing our almost 3 week old I simply tandem nursed the two to keep things as normal as possible but it takes it out of you. It is amazing how God gives you the strength to make it through whatever Satan throws at you.<br />Your little ones are so incredibly blessed to have such a wonderful mom who looks at them through the eyes of Gods love rather than what the world tells us to think. Your son may not have his eyesight but he will discover a world which many people miss out on. The world of sound. I am a doctor with a practice in geriatric medicine from which I am retiring at the age of 56 due to the fact I am losing my vision to retinitis pigmentosa. It is a genetic condition and has effected so many people in my family. It hit my grandparents generation hard but there were only a few cases in my parents generation. In my generation it seems to have broken-out again and there are many, one of my brothers, 3 1st cousins, and more than a few who are 2nd and 3rd cousins. Now in my children's generation, I have one son with early signs of the disease and one of our daughters has just been diagnosed.<br />I was 23 when I was diagnosed and had just gone blind in my left eye. I still have some vision in my right but it is fading. <br />My grandmother gave me a book which is absolutely wonderful & I think your son would get a lot from reading it. He can also get enough yet to get books on tape from the Association for the Blind but they are awesome & have so much to offer, anything from lessons in braille & braille typing to offering magazines in braille as well as in audio form.) the book is called "If You Could See What I Hear" by Tom Sullivan & Derek Gill. He also wrote: Seeing Lessons: 14 Life Secrets I've Learned Along The Way. Here is the Amazon Link where you can find them: https://www.amazon.com/You-Could-See-What-Hear/dp/0060809612<br />I would love to buy a copy for you to read to your son or you could also see if they have them on talking book from the Library of Congress Books for the blind, here is a link to their services. It opens up a wonderful door and a world of books. My grandparents raised us when my parents separated & as I mentioned my grandmother was blind from retinitis pigmentosa. She was an AWESOME lady & many of my friends didn't even know she couldn't see. She knew where EVERYTHING was in the house and God help you if you didn't put something back where it belonged. Like my aunts (we all from Ireland and a little crazy) my grandmother could clip you with a shoe at 15 ft away if you were sassing her. I never figured-out how she always seemed to know if we had the audacity to flip-her-off (as teenagers) because she couldn't see. HOW DID SHE KNOW??? My brother and I never did figure it out but we benefited from being raised by parents who didn't fear harming our little 'psychies' with a spanking when needed! I wouldn't be who I am today if it hadn't been for her unconditional love and all the things she did for me to teach me what it is to be a good person, to love God with my whole heart & to put others before myself. <br />I have read your story to all of our children as an example of how Gods light shines in the lives of those who love and believe in him. <br />God Bless you in the name of our Living Lord & Savior Jesus Christ,<br />MargieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130558988684710472noreply@blogger.com
