Mom and dad on their way...

Well mugs...mom and dad are on their way to Baltimore...
Why??
Mom needs to get some testing done on her eyes.
What's wrong with moms eyes??  (Beginning to tear up)
It'll be ok, mom has retinitis pigmentosa really bad, but there's no cure for it...hopefully doctors are able to slow down the disease.  And since mom has severe hearing loss, the last appointment they found out it's all related and called ushers syndrom

But what will happen today??
She's going to go through some visual testing and have genetic testing since mom has a defective gene...which is what caused all of this.  If they find the defective gene and that gene is available.... Mom can get gene therapy to replace the defective gene.

Sounds confusion,,,,

Mom said the same thing in the beginning too.

We'll keep you posted

Abby and Maggie
