Elisabeth's New Trick

Watch this!



I'll never forget the day I realized that she was blind. Elisabeth was 6 weeks old, and we had just gotten an MRI report back stating that she was missing several parts of her brain. Immediately I went home and started researching. The word 'blindness' kept coming up. My heart sank. I waved my hand in front of her face, and I knew. At that moment I was devastated.

Now I see that there isn't anything tragic about her lack of sight. For Elisabeth, this is normal. She is learning about the world around her, and slowly but surely, figuring things out. Little moments like these make my heart swell with pride. She is truly amazing.
