Hi friends and family of Jess & Bryan—
As most of you know, they received shocking news back in July during their 13 week ultrasound that their sweet baby boy has Spina Bifida Myelomeningocele - a severe defect in which the backbone and spinal canal do not fully close in his back.
After weeks of ultrasounds, tests, a lot of waiting and a ton of prayers, they have received the news that they are candidates for a fetal surgery to possibly reverse or at least significantly improve his condition. This fetoscopic surgery (surgery while in the womb) will be taking place at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston where they actually created this incredible surgery.
Bryan and Jess will head to Houston, Texas on October 9th and surgery will take place on October 12th when Jess is 25 weeks and 3 days pregnant. They will need to stay in Texas for Jess’s recovery for three weeks following the surgery before returning home to San Diego. Jess will need to remain taking it easy (with a toddler in tow ) until the birth, so full time childcare will most likely be a necessity for little Marlee.
Thank you all for your incredible support you have shown the Wilson’s so far. They are so incredibly lucky to have you all in our lives and are truly humbled by the love you have poured onto them. You never think you will be in this position, but we know Landon is going to be their little miracle baby and we can't wait to see his cute little face.
