Silent Darkness

Most parents find raising a child overwhelming enough, but imagine if

that child

could neither see you, nor hear you. Now imagine having three children

like

that. Liz is the mother of the only known deafblind triplets in the

world. Her

three daughters are now 6 years old, but one of the girls is able to

communicate

at a 2-year-old level, and the other two at only 10-month-old levels.

Liz's

world is consumed with their 24-hour care, plus the care of her oldest

daughter,

who is 10 and often times overlooked among the chaos of the triplets.

After

years of dealing with the girls on her own, a new man stepped into

Liz's life to

fill the shoes of her ex-husband. thought he could become Liz's

hero, but

their relationship has been strained from the start and the stress is

tearing

them apart. See what a day in Liz and 's lives are like, and the

surprises

Dr. Phil has in store for them. Plus, meet an inspirational woman who

says her

world turned from light to dark at the age of 15. She's got a message

for

and Liz. Don't miss this heartbreaking and heroic story!
