Episode 5 - Kalyn's Story - Fetal surgery, Spina Bifida, and Paralympics

Today I got the chance to chat with Kalyn Gillespie, busy mom of three boys, one of whom (Grant) has spina bifida. Kalyn and her husband learned Grant had spina bifida while she was pregnant, and she underwent fetal surgery (surgery done to partially remove Grant from the uterus, correct the neural tube dysfunction, and place him back inside). She shares about surgery recovery, delivery, and keeping up with Grant today.

Check out Grant and his family, along with their foundation, at www.grantscause.com and on FB at Grant's Cause for Spina Bifida
