update on baby charles :)

edited February 2012 in Pregnant
my little cousin cheyenne had a drs appt with a specialist at the childrens hospital in milwaukee. her first diagnosis from a local specialist was that baby charles didnt have any membrane on his spinal cord and that he more than likely wont make it to the age of 2 and would probably pass before his 6month bday. well this specialist did lots of ultrasounds and an mri. and good news!!! he does have membrane over his spinal cord. he just has a very small opening on it. the doctors prognosis was that baby charles might have small learning disabilities and will be a delayed walker. he sees no reason that baby charles will not live a full and healthy life! im just hoping this is really the case. im so happy for her!
