Sprout’s Will: Blooming with Spina Bifida

Megan and Chuck are expecting their first child
in June. Their worlds were turned upside down a couple of weeks ago when at their routine 20 week anatomy ultrasound some abnormalities were detected. After a second appointment at a specialty clinic they were told that their little
man, Will (Also known as Sprout) has Spina
Bifida. This is birth defect in which there is an
opening somewhere along the spine leaving
nerves that help us walk, eat, swallow, use the
bathroom, even breathe exposed and damaged
leading to permanent defect in how he will be
able to function once he’s earth side. In order to limit severe disability, Megan will undergo intra-uterine surgery at Cincinnati Children’s
Hospital where they will operate on Will’s spine while still inside of Megan and close the opening in hopes of preventing any further damage to
these vital nerves. With surgery comes a lot of
risk for Will, the main concern being premature birth. Megan and Chuck not only have to
process all of this emotionally but they now
have a huge financial burden to face. Surgery is
thousands and thousands of dollars. They have
already had several appointments, ultrasounds, MRI testing and after the surgery will continue
to face many many appointments, a possible
NICU stay for Will once he arrives, and any
future therapies and surgeries Will may need
once he is here and as he continues to grow. 

Megan and Chuck should not have to worry
about the financial strain of trying to give Will
the best chance possible at a good quality life!
All money donated will go directly to Megan and Chuck to help cover medical costs for Will.
If you cannot financially donate, please consider praying for them and please share with your
friends and family.

Thank you all so much!
