Hi! I'm new here, I've been lookin online for places where I could talk to other parents who maybe goin through similar stuff with their children and I found this website. Brief bio of me, I'm a stay at home mom and wife. Me and my husband have a beautiful 5 year old daughter who was born with optic nerve hypoplasia, she is mostly blind and has alot of other health issues that has come along with it. I started this journey with her not knowin anythang like this excisted and now 5 years in I've learned so much and everyday it seems I learn somethin new with her. It's hard findin others to talk to, ask opinions or just vent to cause everyone I know dont understand this stuff and dont know how to relate. So anyway if anyone would like to talk I can listen and maybe I might be able to offer some advice or vice versa ☺
