I think I am having a harder time with this than Abby is.. really I do. We're gonna make it, though.

I have to remember that this isn't about me. This is about Abby. God gave me this little girl, and she has a purpose in life whether she's blind or not. Yes, it hurts to know that she could lose her sight completely. But, if that happens we'll adapt.

I don't want to see anyone lose their vision.. especially not my child. I am hurt that it might happen. But, I keep telling myself that there are so many other things that can happen to a person that are way worse than this. When she was born the doctors told me that she wouldn't live past the age of 2. When she did live past the age of 2, they told me that she'd never walk or speak.

She's gotten through a lot. Many surgeries and physical therapy sessions. She's still alive, she speaks, she walks. She's very smart! Blindness will never hold her back. I'm very sure of that. We're just going to take it day by day and see what happens.

Now is not the time for me to fall apart. This is going to require strength. Thank you to everyone for your kind words, prayers, good thoughts, and everything else. I'm sure there will be some hard days, but I'll get through this with your help and support. I really couldn't ask for better friends.

Love, Jenn
