Primrose is a very unique girl. She was born with congenital glaucoma, which means she has a hole in her eye since she was born. This is a very rare condition, and it means she was born with it. It was because of this very rare disease that Primrose’s eyes changed color from light blue to silver.
Her rare genetic condition went unnoticed for the first two years of her life, causing her to live in extreme pain. When she was finally diagnosed, she was very happy about it. It happened because she had an eye problem when she was born. She also had a hearing problem because of the problem.
As a result of having a strange illness, she was left behind by her mother in China. She was later placed in an orphanage as a result of this. In the middle of nowhere, the little girl was now alone and without anyone. She couldn’t hear very well because of the darkness around her at the orphanage. For some reason, they wouldn’t let her drink from a bottle, and she was completely mistreated while she was there.
On Facebook, Aaron and Chris, two people from the United States, saw a post about this sad, neglected little girl in China. They agreed to help her. As Erin read Primrose’s story and learned as much as she could about the little girl, her heart had been torn apart by it. She had a strong sense in her heart that Primrose should have more than the bad things that happened to her. Right now, she was going to be the one who made that happen.
As soon as they came back to the U.S, Erin, her husband, and their kids went to China to see Primrose. She was quickly going downhill when they got to the orphanage. She had very little strength left in her small body when they got there, and she was very weak. She had a high temperature and had little strength left in her small body when they arrived, which was considerably worse than they had imagined on the plane. It was very unlikely that she would be able to get back to America. After some trouble, she was able to get back on a plane and return to the United States, where she was reunited with her new adoptive parents and her brother and sister.
There was a time when the little girl was young and didn’t know what it was like to be loved or comforted. She didn’t know that there were people out there who would care for her when she was in need. She had a hard time adapting to a new home and a new love. When she came home from school, it took a long time for her to get back to full strength, and she was eventually moved out of third-world facilities so that she could get the therapy she needed.
Primrose was born with silver eyes that sparkled in the light when she looked into them because she had rare congenital glaucoma. For the first 23 months of her life, her glaucoma went unnoticed. This meant that she had to deal with a lot of pain and discomfort. Primrose was left behind by her biological mother because she’s blind and can’t hear.
She had a hard time finding a family that would love and care for her. It had been a long time since Primrose had been alone in the orphanage when we came to see her. She had not yet learned how to drink from a bottle. She found it very hard to keep her head above water. Furthermore, she had never known what it was like to be loved and cared for by a parent who truly cared about her well-being.
Chris and Aaron Austin, who live in Braselton, Georgia, were taking advantage of the chance to spend time with their two young children. One day in January 2016, Erin was scrolling through her Facebook feed. She came across a picture that made her feel very scared. A small girl with silver eyes from China was on the other side of the TV. It was right away that Aaron knew that she’d been given custody of this baby. There was nothing more she had to do. All she had to do was get her home in New York.
Finally, Mirror Magazine ran the whole story. The following is an excerpt from the article: “A five-year-old girl who was born with a rare disease that caused her a lot of pain has made a huge recovery. She’s had surgery to remove her cataracts. She’s made a miraculous recovery. Primrose Austin has to learn how to walk again after doctors removed the optic tissue that was causing her so much pain.
The small girl had a retinal detachment in one eye, and the size of the other eye had shrunk to half of what it used to be. In her adoptive mother’s words, living in a nightmare every day because the child cried for 16 hours a day, seven days a week. Erin Austin called it living a daily nightmare.”
Erin and her husband, Chris, adopted her from an orphanage in China three years ago, and they learned that she was blind because she didn’t have congenital glaucoma when she was born. People told them that this was the reason for her silvery eyes and the possibility that she was also deaf. The orphanage had failed to provide Primrose with even the most basic of abilities, such as how to hold her head up or drink from a bottle, and she’d never learn them until she was adopted.
As soon as Aaron Austin saw a picture of the young girl on Facebook, she instantly booked a flight to fly halfway across the world to meet her new baby. After they moved into their new home in Buford, Georgia, the Austins took Primrose with them as well. She’s currently living with the Austin’s elder children and growing up alongside them.
Aaron says that eight months before this, Primrose had woken up in a crisis, and 11 doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her.
Everyone was in agony. She was covered in sweat, her body was in a lot of pain, and her nervous system was going crazy. Erin said, putting herself in danger by not eating or drinking. She didn’t want to eat or drink. Erin used a syringe to force liquids into her mouth. An MRI scan indicated that she was suffering from the rare 6p25 syndrome, which is responsible for a range of visual disorders. She had surgery to fix the problem.
They suggested that she have her eyes removed, and they were surprised by her extraordinary recovery just a few weeks after the procedure. After more research, it was found that she isn’t completely deaf and that she has tubes in her ears that help her hear better than she thought. Now, Primrose is learning how to walk again, and she’s learning a form of sign language that emphasizes touch so she can communicate with her caregivers and other kids like other kids her age.
It was a hard decision to have her eyes removed, Aaron said, but she thinks it was the right thing to do. In retrospect, we could never have imagined how far she would have progressed in just two weeks, but she did. In just two days, she’d stood up for the first time in months, had a smile on her face, and had made substantial progress in other areas. Despite the fact that she’d been standing for several months, the author said kids refer to her as a monster and escape screaming and wailing, even though her eyes have been changed, she still looks good. Primrose will get more treatment for her eyes in the next few months, and molds will be made of her eye implants so that she can have painted lenses put in her eyes at the end of the year.
Erin also claimed that Primrose is beginning to communicate in a fresh and distinct way. She will always have to approach life differently, but they’ve now removed the root of her suffering from her life. If she never genuinely communicates or speaks, they will find alternative means of communicating with her, such as teaching her sign language or inventing another solution, said the team.
After adoptive parents find out that their daughter is safe, happy, and well cared for, they’ll consider it a victory. Paige Ewing, a 36-year-old photojournalist, captured photographs of Primrose before her eye tissue was surgically removed. When she was taking the images, she tried to focus on how much she already loved her by her family, which she found difficult. Her reasoning was simple: “I wanted to share the sacrifice that the Austin family was making with as many people as I could. I wanted to emphasize her physical uniqueness as well as the reality that she was already their daughter. In my images, with them cradling her like they would their own children,” says the photographer.
