Signs of Coats Disease

Tate has probably had Coats Disease since he was two and a half. We could find pictures back that far with the "amber colored eye." It is not that we never noticed, we just thought that the light caught his eye funny. Had we known, we would have taken him in a lot sooner. This discoloration is also a indicator of Retinoblastoma. I have put links to this type of cancer to the left as well. There is a link to a story about it that was on the Today Show. Again, we are so thankful and feel very blessed that Tate was not diagnosed with that, but we feel like if we could help even one person diagnose either of this eye disorders it is worth it. Here are some pictures of Tate. It amazes me that he has adapted to not having eye sight in his left eye.
