无眼婴儿母亲Lacey Buchanan：我用对孩子的爱直面生活！

A mother whose son was born with a rare form of cleft palate that left him with no eyes has made an inspiring video revealing their struggles - and how the baby boy battled their bullies with his laughter.
一位母亲为她患先天腭裂伴双盲的孩子制作了一段视频，展示了他们是如何互相扶持着面对困难和外界的嘲讽，一起走下去的。

In the YouTube video, Lacey Buchanan, from Woodbury, Tennessee, holds up cards describing her excitement at falling pregnant with son Christian, and the fears and snide comments that followed.
在这段视频中，来自美国田纳西州Woodbury市的孩子母亲Lacey Buchanan，她手持卡片，讲述了自己从最初得知怀孕后的狂喜，以及随后而来的恐惧和旁人的嘲讽。

During the seven-minute film, she holds one-year-old Christian into her chest, only revealing his face to the camera at end of the video as she kisses him and shows him off proudly.
在这段7分钟的视频中，她怀中紧紧抱着一岁大的克里斯汀，仅在视频的结尾骄傲地举起爱子，向大家展露了他的脸庞并亲吻了他。

The inspiring video tells the story of Lacey, who met her husband Chris when they were 15, and went on to marry him when they were 21. They fell pregnant when she was 23, one note card reads. But a week after the discovery, doctors called the couple to say something was wrong: it appeared that their unborn child had developmental problems.
视频讲述了她的故事：Lacey在15岁时遇到了Chris，21岁时与他结婚，并在23岁时怀上了小克里斯汀。但在发现怀孕后一周，医生给夫妇打了个电话，告诉他们一个坏消息：他们的孩子可能有先天性疾病。

When she went to Vanderbilt Medical Center to deliver Christian in February 2011, she did not know if he would live. He survived - yet his condition was much worse than doctors had predicted.
2011年2月，Lacey前往范德堡医学中心准备分娩时，她并不清楚孩子是否能存活。分娩成功后，医生们发现，克里斯汀的实际状况比预想得更为糟糕。

The baby boy suffered from Tessier cleft, a rare and severe cleft palate that can affect different areas of the face - such as the nose, eyes and jaw - in addition to the mouth. Christian had no palate, was unable to shut his mouth and was born without eyes.
小克里斯汀患有一种罕见严重的腭裂，能广泛影响脸部器官，如鼻、眼及下颚，还有嘴巴。他没有上颚，不能闭合嘴唇，也没有双目。

At four days old, he underwent his first surgery. Through a series of operations, doctors have closed his cleft lip but his palate will require more surgeries, his mother said. He spent four weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital.
他在出生后第四天便接受了第一次手术。现在经过一系列的手术，他上颚的分裂部分已经闭合，但上颚仍需要接受更多手术治疗，母亲Lacey说道。他在范德堡医学中心的新生儿重症监护室里呆了足足一月。When he was finally ready to leave and returned home, 'things were hard', one of Lacey's note cards reads. She and her husband Chris were unprepared for how to raise a blind child, she explains. She also struggled with judgmental stares and whispers from People they passed. People would ask 'What's wrong with your kid?', with one woman even telling her she was 'horrible' for not aborting him.
当他终于可以出院回家的时候，“事情变得更为艰难”，母亲在卡片上写道，“因为我和我的丈夫并不知道该如何抚养一位盲婴。” 周围人的指指点点和交头接耳也让她心烦意乱。人们经过她身边的时候会问道：“你的孩子怎么了？”甚至有位妇女直截了当说，她明知道孩子有先天性疾病却没将他流产掉，真是面目可憎。

As Lacey, 25, struggled to stay strong, it was Christian who fought people would stare at him, he would begin to giggle - and they would start to giggle too. 'Anyone who meets Christian falls in love with him pretty quickly,' one note card reads. She also says she knows she did the right thing not to abort him as he is 'the love of my life'.
然而25岁的Lacey并不信这个邪。小克里斯汀是个勇士， 每当人们盯着他看时，他便开始咯咯地笑，于是人们也便开始笑了起来。“无论谁见到他，很快就会爱上他。”一张卡片上写道。这位母亲还说，她没抛弃克里斯汀是一个正确的决定，因为“他是我此生挚爱”。

The video has had an incredible response, which comes as a bit of a surprise to Lacey. 'I didn't expect it to be as powerful as it was, because to me it's just me and my son,' Lacey told MailOnline.
视频在网络上反响热烈，这点倒是让Lacey有点惊讶。她在接受每日邮报的采访时说道：“我本来没想到这个视频会有如此影响力，因为这只是一位母亲抱着她的爱子拍的一段小视频而已。”

'I was hoping to inspire other parents who are in a situation where they found out that their child may be disabled and they are dealing with the question of whether or not to give a disabled child life. 'I wanted to just give them a little hope that it is hard at times, but there are happy times too, and the happy times so outweigh the hard times.'
“我想藉此为所有为类似状况而烦忧，已育有或孕有残疾孩子的父母加把劲。我想告诉他们：尽管有时非常艰难，但也有快乐的时光。希望总是有的。并且，快乐的时光远远多于艰难。”

She told MailOnline about how her giggly 14-month-old is incredible to watch and she gets so much joy from every day with him. One of her favorite moments is when Christian laughs- something that happens often.
她还提到，小克里斯汀有时会大笑，而这时候的他可爱极了。视频上线后不久便收到2万多的点击率。Lacey和小克里斯汀也受到了来自全国的各种关心支持和鼓励。

Lacey plans to finish law school, largely because her son has prompted her to specialize in disability advocacy law, because 'I want to be able to help people like Christian'.
Lacey现在还是一位法学院学生，她打算继续完成学业，并投身于残疾人保护领域，“因为，我想帮助所有像克里斯汀一样的人们”。
