I haven't posted in a while life has been quite crazy these last few weeks but we had our appt at CHOP and found out baby girl and I are candidates to have fetal surgery to close her defect from spina bifida! The benefits of surgery are amazing and could truly be the difference of this LO's ability to walk or not. Any thoughts prayers or good vibes are so greatly appreciated we go in for surgery dec 10th! Anyone else going through tough a diagnosis on the eastern seaboard I would seriously recommend going to CHOP world class dr's and surgeons that are incredibly helpful and family focused.
What fantastic news! At first I didn't quite get the excitement about surgery but I totally understand your feeling of relief if it will help your daughter's mobility. Yay! Sending you positive surgery vibes. Keep us posted on how it goes.
CHOPs is amazing. I had a friend who was told to terminate her pregnancy because there was no chance their daughter would survive delivery. CHOPS got them through delivery and many surgeries. When everyone else closed the door, they were always there to give this little girls a chance. Best of luck with the surgery. You guys are in great hands!
CHOP is an amazing hospital! I have many friends who work there!! A close friend recently had a baby girl (who she was told would need a heart transplant immediately if she survived birth). Baby was born and within 6 days she had her new heart! Baby is now 6months old and doing incredible thank to the Drs at chop!! Best of luck you on on the 10th!
