The ultrasound room. It’s supposed to be full of joy, isn't it? Seeing those first fuzzy images of your little one. But sometimes, the quiet in the room gets a bit too heavy. #brainmalformations #cephalicdisorders #congenitaldisorders #fetaldevelopment #microcephaly #neuraltubedefects #spinabifida

"Our research identifies specific steps in embryogenesis that contribute to spina bifida," said senior study author Dr. Joseph Gleeson, a professor at Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine and the University of California, San Diego. "This is a major step forward in understanding why this condition occurs and how we might one day prevent it."

Ember’s MRI

Earlier this week, we took Ember for some medical appointments in Forth Worth as part of her routine follow-ups after being diagnosed with Spina Bifida.

A highlight of the trip is seeing the photos of Ember’s MRI as the Neurologist scrolls through. Most of the time, they look like something that I would expect. But, every now and then, something really creepy pops up and that’s the fun part.

Here’s a photo that I got of the monitor:
