Gift A Moment Series: Part three
Nanaimo’s Emily Stead found out she was pregnant with her “miracle baby” Oliver in June 2015.
As Emily wrote, thus began the struggle for her baby and a road to truly understanding the value of Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon:
We went to Children’s Hospital on Sept. 17, 2015 for an ultrasound to look at the development of the baby’s organs as I am a type 1 diabetic and it can affect the development of the baby.
During the ultrasound the technician could see the baby’s bladder wasn’t holding urine. I was then told our baby had Bladder Extrophy — meaning the bladder was on the outside of the body.
