A YOUNG mother, whose son
was born with a rare form of cleft palate that has left him blind, has inspired
millions with an inspiring video revealing their daily struggles. In the
seven-minute video, 25-year-old Lacey Buchanan describes the triumph of
witnessing her son, Christian's giggles in the face of the constant stares and
whispers they encounter in public when strangers see her baby.
Christian was born with an
extremely rare condition called Tessier cleft, which means that he was unable
to fully close his mouth and that his eyes are also clefted such that they
never even formed.
People asked her why she did
not choose to abort her boy.
They stared at both of them.
They talked behind their back. But none of that matters because Lacey knows
that her boy is beautiful just the way he is.
Lacey posted the video two
months ago and it has since generated nearly seven million views. (asiaone)
