Being someone who was born with Spina Bifida, I wish you and your kid luck. My experience has been that what doctors tell you is always the ‘worst case scenario’ - so don’t let it stress you, just be prepared. Do as much research on your own as possible - and don’t be afraid to challenge the experts, if you have theories of your own. You’ll make observations that doctors may never notice - since you’re with him 24-7. I’m lucky that my father did that - some of his findings actually helped to steer doctors to the cause of other physical problems I was having that eventually saved my life.
I wasn’t expected to last my first year… then I wasn’t supposed to walk…
LOOK AT ME NOW! I’m 52!
