When Christian was born, Lacey's life changed radically, and she had no way to prepare for it. It was hospitals, medical equipment, and doctors — none of these were what she had anticipated or wanted.

Lacey's son, Christian, was born with amniotic band syndrome and he has no eyes. Despite the challenges they faced, Lacey bravely decided to share their story of love and perseverance with the world in the hopes of helping others. Through their journey, Lacey has shown incredible strength and resilience as a mother, and her love for her son has never wavered.

Christian experienced multiple facial clefts that impacted his eyes, lips, and nose, in addition to developmental delays and a loss of vision. Unfortunately, in addition to the physical struggle, Christian and his mother face rude and cruel comments from people.

On a TikTok video of Lacey, someone left a comment suggesting that Lacey has no concern for her son's suffering, she says. While Lacey tries to ignore such hurtful comments, she often responds to them, hoping to make it clear that such behavior is unacceptable.

Lacey and little Christian once experienced a very unpleasant incident when a person asked to see him. Upon observing Christian, the individual reacted with a startled gasp and quickly moved away, as if Christian posed a potential threat to them.

Lacey says, "I hate that he's had to struggle but I try not to dwell on it, because that doesn't do any of us any good."

Despite all the unpleasant incidents, Lacey does not give up and continues to fight for her son. She knows that it's okay to cry when they need to, but they also know how to pick themselves up and keep moving forward.

Day after day, Lacey tries to give her son the best possible life, but the fact that he will never see her or experience the beauty of a sunset leaves her feeling incredibly sad. She says:

”I will always mourn that, because grief is the price of love, and it's a price I'm willing to pay because I love him so much.”

Although Christian didn't speak or walk until he was three years old, he now plays the violin and has even joined a baseball league for people with disabilities. However, his struggles continue, and he will undergo more surgeries as he grows older.

Christian understands that he is different, but it doesn't stop him from loving himself. His family deserves credit for nurturing his self-confidence and helping him love himself from an early age. Christian's brother, Chandler, has also played a huge role in his life and has become his best friend. He supports and encourages Christian whenever he needs help and can't do things on his own.

Lacey is not going to stop sharing her son's story and raising awareness about his struggles with the disease and his life. She wants to bring attention to the humanity of her son and show people the importance of understanding and empathy. “I'm not sorry and I will never stop posting about him. I will never hide my son,” she says.

Despite the negative comments they receive, Lacey and her family are grateful for the overwhelming support they have got. This gives Lacey hope that the good outweighs the bad and that the world and culture are becoming more friendly and accepting of people with disabilities.

The story of Lacey and Christian teaches us several important lessons. It reminds us of the importance of empathy and understanding towards people with disabilities. We must learn to treat everyone with kindness and respect, regardless of their physical abilities.

Finally, the story highlights the resilience and strength of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity. Lacey's unwavering love and support for her son, despite the many challenges they have faced, is a testament to the power of love and family.
