Our 3 year old grandson was born with spina bifida, too, undetectable until the ninth month of pregnancy. S. B. involves lifelong issues and challenges, but none that lessen the value of his life. He currently either crawls or takes halting steps in a walker. His mobility is expected to improve. He is an eager learner, goes to preschool, and loves music. He is the sunshine in our lives. We are grateful for his abilities and joyful spirit in the face of his challenges. It is a privilege to have him and to help him. Encouragement and love to other challenged families.
I wish there was a test to see if a baby would develop into a Liberal.
