Hope - A feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.
Faith - Complete trust and confidence in God.
Love- The most spectacular, indescribable feeling
These 4 words are powerful you know. I think people should use them everyday. No matter what. Sometimes it's hard I know. When you aren't able to, that's when another powerful word comes in......prayer. Because God will feel your soul with those words. God is amazing.
Optimism, hope, and faith, were what my mom and dad were feeling that day. Their hearts were filled with it.
Yes this is the day. The day I go back to the eye doctor. It's finally here! I am six months old. My mom and dad couldn't wait to prove everyone wrong. To call everyone and give them good news. And say. "His eyes are fine.".... But that wasn't the case.
Did you know that it just takes a second for your world to come crumbling down? Seconds. Just like that.
When we walked in the room my mom was holding me waiting for the Dr. to come in. Was my mom and dad nervous?? Of course. But they still hung on to the hope. Hung on to their faith, that everything was going to be okay.
The eye doctor finally walked in. Right away my mom and dad stood up. He smiled and said hello to my parents. My dad said hello and my mom smiled. The eye doctor and my mother made this eye contact. Not just any eye contact, but the kind where his eyes were talking to her eyes. I think she knew something at that moment because I felt her heart start to beat really fast and she started to breathe faster. The room was nothing but complete silence for a few seconds.
The eye doctor said "Your son has ONH"
"What's that?" My mom asked.
The eye doctor said. "I'm sorry. But your son is blind in both eyes"
And just like that,....my mom and dad's world was broken
I don't remember my dad's expression. But my mom. ....She could barely breathe. She didn't move. She didn't flinch, blink, nothing. She didn't even cry. She didn't say one word to nobody. She stood so still and just kept staring at the Dr. It was like her body was there but her soul wasn't.
She just turned around and walked right out to the car. With this blank stare on here face.
The whole car ride back was nothing but silence. I was even quiet. When we got home my mom took me straight to her bed and laid down by me. But there was still no emotion that came out of her. She just laid there with me in silence.
That's as far as I can go now. I don't remember anything else after that.
But I would love to
When we see, light through the outside world enters the eye. It passes through the eye and enters the Optic Nerve. The Optic Nerve transmits the light from the eyes to the brain. It is our brain that processes the light that enters our eyes from the outside world and interprets it as images. This is what happens when we see. The Optic Nerve, in a real sense, is the telephone line that allows the eyes to communicate with the brain.
ONH is the underdevelopment of the Optic Nerve during pregnancy. For people with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia (ONH), the Optic Nerve is either nonexistent or did not develop properly. Many people with ONH also have malformation or absence of other structures of the midline of the brain that are physically near the Optic Nerve.
