Helen has been living with Uveitis and sight loss since birth. And now she lives with her new baby
Helen Markey writes in her blog: It has been a while since my last blog post and as you can imagine a lot has changed. I now have a happy healthy 9 month old boy and my life couldn't be any different. No more doing as I please, going wherever, whenever I want. I now have another, more important person to put first now.
I am obviously pretty well practised at looking after myself and coping with my low vision, and it has been a whole new challenge with the introduction of caring for a baby.
I have had lots of fun trying to do the little things that most mothers do but with an impairment - express milk using a torch as a back light, nappies take longer than they should as I want to triple-triple check nothing has been missed, and meal times can be a messy experience for all!
