About this Blog

This blog was first started in the fall of 2010 when my than 6 years old daughter became blind due to Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy.( 11778 LHON mutation) Abby has very limited central vision. Which means she can't see details including most text.

This was first about the pain and shock of dealing with my daughter's new blindness and has grown into a positive blog where I share our adventures in blindness and general life.

Curious about the early days (how we first dealt with diagnosis) check out the archives from 2010.

Abby is a proud braille reader. Sadly there are other blind children denied literacy every day. Abby is committed helping end the braille literacy crisis. Check out www.nfb.org for more information.
