無眼嬰兒母親Lacey Buchanan：我用對孩子的愛直面生活！
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.
一位母親爲她患先天齶裂伴雙盲的孩子製作了一段視頻，展示了他們是如何互相扶持着面對困難和外界的嘲諷，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.
在這段視頻中，來自美國田納西州Woodbury市的孩子母親Lacey Buchanan，她手持卡片，講述了自己從最初得知懷孕後的狂喜，以及隨後而來的恐懼和旁人的嘲諷。
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.
在這段7分鐘的視頻中，她懷中緊緊抱着一歲大的克里斯汀，僅在視頻的結尾驕傲地舉起愛子，向大家展露了他的臉龐並親吻了他。
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.
視頻講述了她的故事：Lacey在15歲時遇到了Chris，21歲時與他結婚，並在23歲時懷上了小克里斯汀。但在發現懷孕後一週，醫生給夫婦打了個電話，告訴他們一個壞消息：他們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前往範德堡醫學中心準備分娩時，她並不清楚孩子是否能存活。分娩成功後，醫生們發現，克里斯汀的實際狀況比預想得更爲糟糕。
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.
小克里斯汀患有一種罕見嚴重的齶裂，能廣泛影響臉部器官，如鼻、眼及下顎，還有嘴巴。他沒有上顎，不能閉合嘴脣，也沒有雙目。
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.
他在出生後第四天便接受了第一次手術。現在經過一系列的手術，他上顎的分裂部分已經閉合，但上顎仍需要接受更多手術治療，母親Lacey說道。他在範德堡醫學中心的新生兒重症監護室裏呆了足足一月。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.
當他終於可以出院回家的時候，“事情變得更爲艱難”，母親在卡片上寫道，“因爲我和我的丈夫並不知道該如何撫養一位盲嬰。” 周圍人的指指點點和交頭接耳也讓她心煩意亂。人們經過她身邊的時候會問道：“你的孩子怎麼了？”甚至有位婦女直截了當說，她明知道孩子有先天性疾病卻沒將他流產掉，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歲的Lacey並不信這個邪。小克里斯汀是個勇士， 每當人們盯着他看時，他便開始咯咯地笑，於是人們也便開始笑了起來。“無論誰見到他，很快就會愛上他。”一張卡片上寫道。這位母親還說，她沒拋棄克里斯汀是一個正確的決定，因爲“他是我此生摯愛”。
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.
視頻在網絡上反響熱烈，這點倒是讓Lacey有點驚訝。她在接受每日郵報的採訪時說道：“我本來沒想到這個視頻會有如此影響力，因爲這只是一位母親抱着她的愛子拍的一段小視頻而已。”
'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.'
“我想藉此爲所有爲類似狀況而煩憂，已育有或孕有殘疾孩子的父母加把勁。我想告訴他們：儘管有時非常艱難，但也有快樂的時光。希望總是有的。並且，快樂的時光遠遠多於艱難。”
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.
她還提到，小克里斯汀有時會大笑，而這時候的他可愛極了。視頻上線後不久便收到2萬多的點擊率。Lacey和小克里斯汀也受到了來自全國的各種關心支持和鼓勵。
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現在還是一位法學院學生，她打算繼續完成學業，並投身於殘疾人保護領域，“因爲，我想幫助所有像克里斯汀一樣的人們”。
