“Even heroes have the right to bleed” ~Superman, Five for Fighting Eight. Eight surgeries for my five month old baby boy. It’s a surreal feeling…and I admit we’re all still in disbelief. Chance is in surgery at the moment to have his shunt revised again. We can’t keep up with the number of people calling, […]
So sorry to read about this latest revision. I hope the second catheter will help. My daughter has had 4 revisions so I know how very scary this all is.
Sending lots of prayers for a speedy recovery,

Amanda – just wanted you to know I’m praying for your little boy & you.
I can only imagine how heartbreaking this has been for you. Chance is very lucky to have you as him mom and a family that loves him more than anything. Please know that we continue to pray for you guys.
Our Patricia has had only one shunt malfunction in her first 15 months, so I don’t know what you are going through, but my thoughts are with you. It sounds like you have a lot of people around you for support, but if you need to get in touch with another mom of a child with Spina Bifida, I am here.

Praying he recovers quickly, and you can all go home and get some much needed rest. Those all nighters can really wear you out. Thanks for the update!
You and your family are in my prayers!
How unfortunate to see a little baby go thru so many surgeries. I know it’s so hard on Mom and Dad.
What a trooper…there is nothing Super Chance can’t overcome. Sending prayers for a speedy recovery.
You did good Mom – you caught it right away and got him the help he needed immediately! Keep your chin up – I know how tired you are and how the “rollercoaster” REALLY stinks…from a fellow SB Mom who has been there…

Hi Amanda! I found one of your blog entries through a mutual friend on facebook and I just wanted to tell you I love all of your amazing and wonderful pictures and your blog entries. Your son is absolutely ADORABLE!!! I think I read in one of your posts that you did not know many adults with spina bifida. So-I have been wanting to reach out to you to let you know I was also born with spina bifida (myelomeningocele) and I would love to connect more with you if you would like. I am 36. I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have for me. I also wrote a book called “Beyond Adversity into Freedom” which is my story of how I have found genuine freedom and joy in living with spina bifida. If you ever wanted to review my book on your blog-I would be more than happy to send you one. Thank you again for the beautiful blog and pictures. Many Blessings, Shauna
