Perfect little boy

I gave birth in August, was 15 days overdue and was induced. I was really quite poorly after the epidural went wrong, but i was so excited to meet my baby boy. Unfortunatly the day after he was born during the normal checks, they couldn't find a red reflex in his eyes, he was born with cataracts. It's so much different to adult cataracts as babies haven't learnt to see. He is now waiting to have his 4th operation to hopefully give him some vision. However even though he has this problem, he is such a happy smiley little boy, i am so proud of him and love him so much!
