Parents stunned as baby girl born without EYES due to rare genetic disorder which only affects 30 people in world

THE SUN

A BABY has been born with a rare genetic condition affecting only 30 people worldwide.

Her mum Taylor Ice, from Missouri in the US, said she knew something was off on the day she was born.

“I did notice she wasn’t opening her eyes, so I asked the nurse,” Taylor told local news station KFVS 12. 

“She told me, ‘Well, in the womb, it’s dark, so they don’t normally open their eyes right away.'”

But, Taylor’s baby never opened her eyes.

Taylor continued: “The pediatrician’s going over the baby, and he just stops with his examination and looks up at us and says, ‘Your daughter doesn’t have any eyes’.

“I just looked at him and said, ‘Do you mean they’re small?’ He goes, ‘No, they aren’t there.’

“I just burst into tears because I just couldn’t fully process what that meant at the time.”

Although Taylor had just given birth via C-section, on the same day she drove 150 miles with her husband Robert and newborn Wrenley to St Louis Children’s Hospital.

The family spent nine days there, waiting for answers.
