We’re Not Unscathed
But as Lauren and Ryan were both going in for their regular checkups for ROP (retinopathy of prematurity – this is a condition in premature babies that can potentially lead to blindness), both were found to be in need of surgery to prevent loss of eye sight. And although it seemed that the operation was successful in Lauren, we were not as fortunate with Ryan. Specifically, Ryan had lost full sight of his right eye and had significant sight damage in his left eye (currently, Ryan can read at 18 sized font with his glasses).
Therefore, growing up, Ryan faced challenges that Lauren didn’t face. Although he grew up with the full passion and vigor of a baby boy (including that gene that seemingly turns off any sense of immediate danger), Ryan literally ran into objects (staircases, table tops, and most dangerous - corners of chairs) while playing and so we had to make sure he was supervised more than a fully-sighted toddler.
