    My brother-in-law and sister-in-law are expecting their second child in August.  They just found out a week ago it will be their second sweet little girl.  Today they got a phone call and were told that they needed to come in for an appointment, the baby has spina bifida.  We don’t know how severe it is, yet.  They still have many appointments ahead of them.  They are in shock, scared and sad right now.  Please pray for them and the baby.  Thanks so much!

    I will be praying as well. I would also like to recommend that you give them a link to Tristain’s blog. She has a beautiful Ds that has spina bifida, and the blog is devoted to him, she is a wealth of information.

    Please have them contact me!  My 7th child has Spina Bifida, he’s 3 years old and a joy.  We’ve also had a lot of medical needs to deal with and I have great contacts for support for them.  Where do they live?  My email is tdrowlee1 AT gmail DOT com

    I will pray! Do have them follow Tristan’s son Mason’s blog and contact Tristan, I’ve learned so much from Mason’s blog, I’m sure it would benefit them as they walk this journey.

    Thank you, all, for your prayers.  I do plan to give them Tristan’s blog, but I wanted to wait until they find out the severity.  They have an appointment with their midwife Tuesday afternoon for more information and referrals.

    Pangit, I would suggest you have them contact me sooner rather than later.  The information they will receive is likely to be inaccurate on what their baby’s life will be like because the doctors who are caring for her and baby during pregnancy NEVER care for a child once they are born.  They don’t know the reality of living with a diagnosis of spina bifida.  Prenatal doctors tend to be pretty doom and gloom, push for abortion, and tell you your child will be a paralyzed, severely brain damaged thing with no quality of life.  It’s just not true.

    Praying for this family.

    And, Tristan, darn right your 3yo is a joy! He’s a joy to us, too. We like to visit your blog every so often just to see pictures of his smiling face and to read about his adventures. He is SUCH a conqueror, and I pray that pangit’s niece will have such a strong spirit as well.

    Thank you, again, for prayers and continued prayers.  My brother in law and sister in law met with their midwife this afternoon.  The baby’s neural tube defect is in the lumbar region.  She has club feet, no nasal bone and the posterior fossa (back of the cranium) is abnormal.  My sister in law has an appointment tomorrow with the maternal fetal doctor and will have a 3D ultra sound and other testing/exam.
