Adam and Lisa are going in to be induced this morning to have little Angel, Adam Gabriel Prestwich. For those of you that don't know them (Adam is my brother), their little baby has Anecephaly. Here is a brief definition: anencephaly n: a defect in brain development resulting in small or missing brain hemispheres. A congenital absence of the brain and cranial vault, with the cerebral hemispheres completely missing or greatly reduced in size. Basically, his spine isn't connected at the head and therefore his little head hasn't been able to develope. He won't have a brain or head from the eyebrows up. He has developed normally everywhere else and has been a very active baby inside Lisa's tummy. Unfortunately, there is no chance of survival.
So, needless to say they are going to need a lot of prayers!
Welcome to the crazy life of the Slocum's. We love a great adventure with each other!
