'After 2646 hours of patching, 3 surgeries, and too many drops to count, our girl is finally done,' said the Washington mom.
Two years after a freak accident damaged the eyesight of a 5-year-old girl, she's got nearly-perfect vision again. And her mother celebrated the miraculous moment with a “Wonder Woman” photo shoot.
"I will never forget the fear and guilt I felt that day. Keeping back my tears to stay strong for her," Arambul wrote in a February Facebook post. Aliyah was given an eye patch to wear for hours each day. Does this sound nearly impossible to anyone else who's ever met a 3-year-old? Aliyah, fortunately, was up for the challenge.
"I think it matured her in that way," Arambul tells Yahoo Lifestyle."It's also made her want to be in control of other situations in her life. She tries to make sure that her world isn't chaotic."
