Georgia Kate

First let me start by saying I am not a writer. I can not spell to save my life. I am a mommy, a wife, and a nurse. I am starting this blog to allow people to follow Georgia Kates journey and to hopefully help other families going through similar situations. Georgia Kate Poole was born 6/16/11. She entered the world kicking and screaming, pink as could be. My pregnancy was normal with no complications at all. The moment I held her for the first time I noticed her eyes. They were a cloudy blue. The pedicatrician called the opthamologist who immediatly examed her and diagnosed her with Peters Anomaly. As a nurse I have never heard of this nor had my pediatrician. It is a rare eye condition that will cause Georgia Kate to be blind without treatment. The treatment for this anomaly is Corneal Transplant. To date we have had one Corneal transplant and will have the left eye done in 6 weeks. This is just a short intro to our story. I will post more as I get settled into the "blog" world.
