Emily talks with Winter about her sweet little son Kehpri, who passed 5 hours after birth due to complications with cervical myelomeningocele and spina bifida. Emily tells us about moving back to her home state of Oregon and finding out early that her little baby might not make it with a misdiagnosed scan. Emily talks about the hope she had when the medical staff informed her that the original diagnosis was false, but that the new diagnosis of spina bifida would most likely be terminal to the little baby. Emily moved on with hope and carried little Kehpri till 36 weeks.
