Over Easter weekend we were able to talk with the Smith family that just found out that their son has Spina Bifida. Ashlie had done some business with Mark with loans in the past in which they had become FB friends. She said that she had seen the bumbo wheelchair that Mark had made for Cole, but hadn't thought about it at the time. But when they got the news that their son had SB she when back and found out that Cole has the same thing. She sent us a message via FB and we meet with them the next day. What a cute couple they are. With such a beautiful little daughter. Talking with them brought back a lot of memories. The worries,stress fear of the unknown... After we talked for a while and tried to answer all their questions they said that it brought a lot of comfort to see Cole. So grateful to be able to help them see that it's not at all like what you see on the internet.
They are at UCSF right now getting test done to see if they qualify for fetal surgery. Here is a link to their blog if you would like to follow their journey. http://nicksmithsfamily.blogspot.com/
After talking with them and pondering about the last year and a half. I am filled with so much gratitude. We have been so blessed by God. family and friends. Your love and support has truly carried us. Thank you!
