SB Mom

You know you’re a Spina Bifida mom when…

• Your child thinks tape measurers belong wrapped around his head

• Your daughter tries to cath her doll

• You open your purse to get out your wallet and a catheter falls out

• You read “Eight Silly Monkeys” and each time they fall off and bump their heads you wonder, “Is the doctor who Mama called a neurosurgeon?”

• The entire “D” section of your phone’s contacts are Dr’s

• The doctor says your child has tonsilities, a UTI, and fluid in his ears and you are RELIEVED because it's not shunt-related

• You know more Neuroanatomy than a second year medical student

•  You can interpret ultrasound results yourself while the tech is doing the scan
