Today, which happens to be Valentines Day of 2018, I was greeted with a loving card from my beautiful wife. Now, that isn’t really that abnormal on this holiday, however, my favorite part of the card was that my wife found a card that I could actually read without my magnifying glass or digital magnifier.

Just a couple of weeks ago, we attended my yearly appointment with my Retinal Specialist. The day comes every year and it’s not looked forward to. I had been preparing myself for the day for months in advance and whether or not that is helpful is arguable. I worry, I fret and I constantly prepare […]
My wife put this together for me. It blew my mind and touched my heart in ways that i’m unable to convey in words. The words, love, honesty and support that what is shared in this video, well they took my breath away. Thank you to my wife for creating this monumental document of support […]
With life and it’s absolutely crazy turns, it’s been hard to find the time to update with all of the things occurring in life. Our daughter, Lyla Drew Ogg is now 4 months old. She is quite possibly the happiest and most loving little girl ever. We are blessed to have her in our family […]

On Friday, June 8th, 2018, our 2nd daughter, Lyla Drew Ogg came rushing into this world like a tornado. Mom delivered in a record time (for us) and both Lyla and my wife are doing absolutely amazing. Due to the speed of the delivery, our “birth plan” went flying out the window, however, we […]
Three months after receiving the news that I had Retinitis Pigmentosa, my wife and I had a discussion about adding another head to our family. With so much uncertainty in front of us with my failing vision, it seemed absolutely crazy to add another child to our family. In fact, it is INSANE. So […]
Every once in a while the internet delivers. My wife found this video when we first were diagnosed and I could barely watch it then, it was still so new and this video seemed like a preview of what our lives held. It’s still impossible to watch this now without the tears coming down, but […]
One year ago today, my life changed. On June 1st, 2017, I was diagnosed with an incurable disease. This incurable disease is called Retinitis Pigmentosa and it’s making me go blind. Today, I have 15% vision remaining. The diagnosis answered a lot of the questions I had as to why I was seeing so […]
A few weeks ago, my wife sent me the below video. She stumbled upon after seeing a picture of Robert Herjavec, from the TV Show “Shark Tank,” with Jim Platzer, a man who has 5% of his vision remaining due to Retinitis Pigmentosa. After watching this video I was in awe. Not only […]
