"How cool would it be if Thomas' first vision, the first thing he's actually able to go to and see, is a baseball game that has Mike Trout in it?" Susan said, relaying a scenario that has played out in her head countless times these last couple months. "That's what our goal is -- that this will be the first event in his life that he'll actually be able to see."
Thomas' vision has been blurry and fuzzy after he was born with a severe condition called congenital nystagmus, often called "dancing eyes." Thomas has a hard time keeping his eyes fixed, and the only way he can see is if he tilts his head near his chest and tries to look out of the corner of his eye.
