She Had to Wear Goggles
Since Gabby couldn’t stop herself from scratching and poking, her parents had to take precautions. She didn’t need glasses at the time to see, so they had her wear goggles. They protected her eyes so that her fingers wouldn’t poke them and cause more damage. However, she’d already lost one to the issue. Now, it was a matter of letting it heal and keeping the other eye safe. This took a lot of effort, but Gabby was still a free-spiriting youngster.

No, That’s Hot!
Most people don’t think about all the ways their bodies inform them about problems. You know not to touch the stove and that it will be hot if you do. However, for a little girl who never felt physical pain, it’s unknown what that feels like. Every young child touches something hot, instantly drops it, and starts crying. However, Gabby didn’t do that when she grabbed a hot lightbulb, terrifying her parents. She received second-degree burns on both of her hands.
