Gumming Her Tongue
Again, babies like to chew on things, and it’s easy to nibble on the body parts. Baby Gabby would chew on her tongue, just like it was bubble gum. While everyone has bitten their tongue before (sometimes hard enough to draw blood), you focus on not doing it again because it hurts. Imagine, then, if you couldn’t feel it. You’d probably continue chewing on it and not realize it. Gabby’s parents chose to have her teeth removed to stop the damage.
Poking and Scratching at Her Eyes
As mentioned earlier, young children like to get their hands on everything, especially if it is already on their bodies. Many times, kids rub their eyes when they’re tired or have an itch. However, Gabby was constantly poking and scratching at her eyes. One time, it got so bad that the doctor had to remove her left eye. Now, Gabby uses a prosthetic eye, which her parents insert each morning when she gets up and gets ready.
