I admit, it is very frustrating at times, when she gets so wrapped up into the moment, marvelling at the shape of a Lego brick, that 15 minutes after I told her to get dressed in the morning she's still in her jammies. When she just cannot stop touching all those old wooden fences and we'll have to take a trip to the pediatrician again to have the splinters pulled out of her hands. But every single day we're trying our best to help her find her way around her world, hoping that one day her brain will learn again to see with both eyes. We appreciate your support so much, Lisa.

It breaks my heart knowing about Violet's struggles without being able to make her well again. Her brain may learn to see with both eyes again, or not; no-one can tell.. So all I can do for her is support her finding her way around her world. Thank you so much for your kind words!Stephanie @ Life, Unexpectedlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787379336749043051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474956079411071497.post-84050638011084224802014-12-07T12:04:33.216-08:002014-12-07T12:04:33.216-08:00I can't quite wrap my brain around all that Vi...I can't quite wrap my brain around all that Violet has to deal with and all that she can't perceive. Your descriptions, though, are vivid and so helpful. Children are amazing. I think they often have strength of heart and character that adults don't because they don't realize there is any other way and so they just forge ahead. You are an amazing Mom and Violet is blessed to be yours!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474956079411071497.post-50388813468519760582014-12-07T05:58:31.667-08:002014-12-07T05:58:31.667-08:00What a brave little girl you have, Stephanie, and ...What a brave little girl you have, Stephanie, and what a lucky one to have a mum like you who puts so much energy into helping her understand and enjoy the world around her. It's so difficult to imagine what it must be like to only see in two dimensions but I'm sure the love that you shower her with makes her feel secure in her world despite that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04750195813761527673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474956079411071497.post-22806057886534776222014-12-06T14:25:01.987-08:002014-12-06T14:25:01.987-08:00Thank you, Jen!
