Episode 53 | Teresa's Story - A daugther with Spina Bifida and Tethered Cord


Listen Later

Katie, Certified Child Life Specialist interviews Teresa, a mom of a teenage daughter with Spina Bifida. 

With no signs of abnormalities during her pregnancy, Teresa was shocked to learn that a fatty lump on her daughter's skin at the base of her spine would lead to a diagnosis of spina bifida occult with a tethered spinal cord.

Teresa walks us through the shock of the diagnosis and the power that a one-on-one discussion with an empathetic doctor had on their ability to cope.

Motivated by their story to help kids like her daughter be able to disguise some of the necessary medical equipment she must wear every day, they created www.hiddenunderwear.com
