Episode 6
In this episode I speak with Cole and Joann about spina bifida. Cole is a very spunky 7 year old who explains what spina bifida is, and how life is for him living with its effects. While telling his story, he shares the things that he is able to do in spite of his challenges. It was fun to hear him talk about playing sports and his love of skiing. Joann details their story, how she found out about his spina bifida in her 20 week ultrasound and the decisions that they faced in helping Cole heal. As a family, they have been very involved in helping kids and families who are going through similar challenges, even sending wheelchairs to children in Brazil.
