Later in the post, the reality star revealed that Curren had his first eye surgery when he was 4 years old. “One of my best ‘mommy’ moments was when he opened his eyes 3 days later, ran around the house showing me everything and then finally put his hands on the side of my face and said ‘wow Mommy, you’re so pretty’,” she said.

The reality star also explained that despite his condition Curren was very much still active. “Although he’s still legally blind you’d never know it, and this Spring he’ll have another surgery that’ll hopefully bring his vision to where he can drive one day,” the reality star said.
