ON this day my husband, myself, and our two children went to my doctors appointment to have an ultrasound done to see if we were having a boy or a girl. Much to our surprise we found out we were, in fact, having a girl (as my husband had guessed) however, she had spina bifida, with a "lemon sign", "acII malformation, " and "hydrocephalus." After that I think my whole body shut down. IT was a huge sock to us and I kept thinking "Why us," "What did we do?" You see we had no concept of spina bifida and the small concept we did have was negative.
I share this story with you because many of you just found out your having a baby with spina bifida or know someone who is. I have good news for you- its not all negative. Its an absolute joy and priveledge to be a mother/father/brother/sister to someone who lives with spina bifida. As I sit here today and look at my beautiful and absolutely perfect 5 1/2 month old daugther
I now have a face for spina bifida and the face is beautiful!
