[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, but Spina bifida is NOT comparable to T18/T13. Spina bifida is a serious, but manageable, condition. These kids and adults are capable of living happy and wonderful lives, just like you or I. Yes, there are extra challenges, but there is so much support and love available for my neice and her whole family. [/quote] You do realize that spina bifida just means there is a hole where the spine didn't close? Some holes are bigger than others. Some cause extreme problems that can't be repaired.[/quote] Yes, I was there for my neice's birth and NICU stay, so yes I know that there was a large hole (lesion) on her back. Every child born with SB gets the closure surgery right after birth - sometimes it takes the help of a plastic surgeon, but the hole is covered. There is permanent neve damage to the spinal cord (hence the wheelchair), but these kids live, grow and amaze us, just like any child![/quote]
