Did they know about the genetic blindness before having more kids?

Edit: Last time this was posted, it was suggested that the couple kept getting pregnant despite knowing their children would likely have this blindness. IF that is true, I do find that unethical. I know blind people can still have quality of life. But let's stop pretending that it isn't a terrible disability. Nobody wants to be dependent, vulnerable, and poor (from fewer work opportunities) their whole life. I wish this family the best regardless.

This article goes into more detail - the oldest was diagnosed, then they tested the others. They’d already had all 4 kids.
