Tyson, my blind son and his new cane.

If you could have seen my Tyson born at 24 weeks gestation at 1lb 8oz, if you'd seen him code on numerous occasions, if you'd kown that he once was on a DNR, if you knew that he has severe brain damage among other things from prematurity, if you knew that he's had over 20 surgeries, if you knew that he is a Hurrican Katrina survior, if you knew he was completly blind. You would agree with me that this is a miracle.

Yes, they are actually surviving triplets. They were born 4 months premature. There brother Preston returned to heaven on his second day of life.

Wow...great to see people putting canes in the hands of little kids! Once upon a time, kids weren't allowed to have them until they we 10 or 11, and it was time for mobility instruction. Now, a kid like Tyson just grows up using it, and that's how he walks. Imagine being dependent on someone to guide you in anything but your home or your school until you were 10 or 11.

@Beautifulpoet12 Well for some strange reason, he has a simultaneous evolutionary disadvantage and advantage - has he ever been left without a cane? The natural thing to do is search with his hands. He'd teach that to his children, I'd think. (cor, half a day of that and you'd be stopped from pouring your fave hot choc!) Also, the kids comment is to the owner of the video.

More packaging needs Braille on it. Would help essentially everyone. Blind people could identify whtr thv got mint or not.

By the way I could watch this little man's video all day, he makes me smile- and he plays the organ/piano better than I do!

@jjovereats well he certainly isn't handicapped. He has different abilities. I can't even walk with my eyes open without bumping into things. He is doing GREAT!! I don't even know this awesome little guy and I'm proud of him. You are doing wonders with him!!!! Both of your kids are wonderful.

@Beautifulpoet12 Good euphemism. I cannot help but to applaud you for your see-through pun. In time, though, the one in the wheelchair will lead the one with the cane. How strange. Still got typing problems after the 12 1/4 hour experiment challenge I took.

@KadoBrenKado do not feel bad, they will have their problems but they will flourish.

He's so cute! I am sorry about Preston. I love handicapable people. They are so strong. I am handicapable myself as is my cousin. She is blind and has very many delays but is flourishing!!

Omg! I feel so bad for him and your other children! I heard this child is blind, and when I saw the other child in the wheel chair, I burst into tears! I feal so bad for you! I wish I could help, but I live far away.....I hope God Blessed Tyston, Preston, and all of your family, because every living thing, has a big part of life ahead of them. I wish the best for you people!
