Disabilities In Children - Spina Bifida | Parents

Watch as Parents Magazine interviews a mom on what it's like to have a daughter living with Spina Bifida. The mother states that although many parents will receive a lot of scary medical information prior to the baby being born, it seems much worse than the situation actually turns out to be. The mom says that the new normal in her life has become changing the family schedule to accommodate physical therapy, surgery, and doctor appointments. She states that the most important thing to remember is that children with Spina Bifida are just like any other kid.

They told me I'm at risk for it. I'm freaking out. My aunt has hydrocephaly which can come with spina bifida. And she's a vegetable. Her life is sitting in front of the tv all day till her bed time where they move to the bed. And they had to remodel the house to keep her on same level. Set up ramps. Hoists to kid her in and out of bath tub. Special toilets and chairs to help her up. She urinates in catheters. I'm thinking.... if this is what e have to look forward to.... I'm not going through with it. It would end up in an institution because I wouldn't be able to care for it. This is freaking me out.
