Leading the Blind

On February 18th, 2011, our lives were changed forever when our son Christian Taylor Buchanan entered the world. He was born with a bilateral cleft palate and lip and almost completely blind. This blog is the story of his life, the joys we share, the challenges we encounter, and the amazing and trying journey ahead of our family!

Team Christian T-Shirts

Many people have noticed the Team Christian shirts in some of my Facebook pictures and asked how they could get one. I debated trying to package and ship shirts, and didn't really want to get into that. I sold them locally for a fund raiser for Special Kids in March and it was difficult enough trying to get them to everyone who lived close. With all the other things I have going on, law school, taking care of Christian, and working, I just don't have time to get everyone their shirts in a timely manner
But I had a friend approach me and offered to take the brunt of the work, and really expressed her desire to sell shirts. I gave it some thought and decided that I would give it the go ahead, because it would be a great way to spread the word even more about Christian and his story and all that he represents. 


So, my friend Julia Robbins is heading this campaign and is taking on a huge responsibility all in the name of Christian. She has done everything, designed the shirts, created a website to place orders,etc. All the proceeds from each sale will go directly to Christian, and Julia has a safety guard in place to ensure that everyone can be confident that their money will be going to Christian and not be pocketed by someone trying to take advantage of us. I am able to view and have mutual control over every transaction that goes through and every order that is placed. 



If you would like to order a shirt, you can visit www.teamchristian2012.weebly.com and place your order. Please include shirt size,quantity and shipping address in the form on the page, and the email for the paypal is teamchristianbuchanan@yahoo.com. Once you have completed the Paypal transaction, your shirt(s) will be shipped! The cost of the shirts is $25.00 each. This covers the cost of the shirt, packaging, and shipping and handling. If you have any questions about placing an order you can also email teamchristianbuchanan@yahoo.com and Julia will be glad to help you out! 

When you wear your shirt, be sure to tell everyone who asks about it who Christian is and the amazing story he has! Thank you guys so so much for everything you have done for our family, and thank you Julia for being so kind to offer to do this for us!!! We love all of you so much! 

Raising A Child Who Can't See

Our family - Raising a Child Who Can't SeeAfter Christian was born and we realized that he was blind, it was devastating to say the least. Our initial reaction was absolute heartbreak. We didn't know what we were going to do or how we were going to manage raising a child who couldn't see. We had no experience or background ...

Donations

As you might notice, to the right of this blog post is a new button. I am not one to ask people for money - EVER. But since so many people have asked me how they can contribute to Christian, my IT guy hooked me up and helped me create a button where people can donate directly to our PayPal account. ...

"Thanks" just seems inadequate

It's one o'clock in the morning, 3 days after my video has gone viral. I am overwhelmed with trying to chat with everyone and respond to messages and read comments and absorb all the love I am receiving. In the last 3 days, over 6 million people have watched me pour my heart out telling my family's story. I didn't ...

Blown away

As I set in a hospital room at Vanderbilt Chikdn's hospital on May 23rd and listened to the groans and crys of my very much in pain post-op 3 month old son, I remember thinking "My life is over. This is it. The rest of my life will be surgery after surgery, watching Christian suffer, and I will never enjoy ...

Touching Lives

There is no denying the explainable way that Christian draws people to him. The only way I can explain it is that he is so surrounded by and covered with the presence of God that people see the light of Christ shining, and they are unmistakably attracted to that light.I literally cannot go grocery shopping, to the gas station, out to eat, ...
