I wanted to share a technique I learned about in a Brain Injury course I attended several years ago that might be helpful. Many children have regained their eyesight through a simple method. Many times a day you take the child into a darkened room and shine a flashlight in their eyes for several minutes – on/off, on/off. It may take months to work, but this process can generally stimulate the optic nerve connection to regenerate. Kind of like stroke patients when they have them do exercises to regain the coordination in their damaged limbs. More details and some statistics are available at The Institute for the Achievement of Human Potential – IAHP.org. I hope your friend will find some info that will help this darling baby to regain what was so cruelly taken from her.

Weaping…& speechless. These things make the reality of our Savior’s agony & pain so much more vivid & real to me. Sending prayers…

So sad. It scares me to think people who have done this before are still aloud to be in the care of children. I have a hard time as it is thinking of leaving my baby with a sitter or a daycare. Guess it pays to have background checks. This little girl and her parents will be in our prayers.

That makes me want to cry. It’s very hard to look at and read. Everyday I am just so greatful I have a healthy boy. I’m so sorry for them.

Heartbreaking! Isn’t there something about a millstone as a “gift” for those who hurt our little ones?

This really and truly makes me sick to my stomach. Though we all get frustrated with our children at times, only those with some serious issues could do this sort of thing to another human being, especially a helpless one. Like Vanessa, I don’t want to be around these people during judgement time, that’s for sure!

Thank you for posting this. Working for DCFS, I saw some horrible abuse. So sad and preventable.
