More about Chance:
Chance was born on February 22, 2011 with spina bifida.
Spina bifida is a condition that affects the spine and is usually apparent at birth. It is a type of neural tube defect. Spina bifida can happen anywhere along the spine if the neural tube does not close all the way. The backbone that protects the spinal cord does not form and close as it should. This often results in damage to the spinal cord and nerves.
Chance was born with myelomeningocele, the most severe type of spina bifida, where an opening in his back was present at birth. Due to this defect he underwent surgery when he was only about four hours old to repair the defect and at only a week old underwent a surgery to place a shunt due to hydrocephalus (additional fluid on the brain) that commonly develops in spina bifida patients. He's since underwent a total of eight surgeries and has proven what a strong little guy he is. Despite all the challenges he's faced in his short life he's proven to be such a happy little guy who is such a blessing.
Please take a moment to support Chance's team so we can help all those affected by spina bifida.
