Thank you all for your continued love, support, encouragement, and prayers throughout my vision journey!

In this week’s entry, I share the results from my most recent visit to Philadelphia. Listeners will have the opportunity to hear details from my two full days of vision assessments and the changes that occurred from pre-treatment to post-treatment at this point in the LCA5 clinical trial. It has been a roller coaster ride of emotions since I began the trial 9 months ago, but I remain grateful for the opportunity to participate and play a small part in the realm of vision science. Thank you all for your continuous love, prayers, and support throughout my journey! It has been a true pleasure to be able to provide a glimpse into this chapter of my story.

In this week’s entry, listeners will have the opportunity to dive into the part of my vision story which I tend to avoid the most. Emotions become more authentic than ever as I share confessions that I previously hid deep within my soul. This was a difficult entry to record, and I urge everyone to listen to this without their little one’s nearby (at least for the first portion). My hope is that listeners find relevance, encouragement, and hope as they hear my journey of avoidance to acceptance and the lessons I learned along the way!
