A Mississippi Mom After God's Own Heart: Why does Spina Bifida Awareness matter?

October is National Spina Bifida Awareness Month. Spina Bifida a congenital defect of the spine in which part of the spinal cord and its meninges are exposed through a gap in the backbone. It often causes paralysis of the lower limbs, and sometimes mental handicap. There are plenty of resources and help for those with or with loved ones who have Spina Bifida. Take this month to brush up on your facts and help remove some of the stigma.

Spina bifida is a birth defect affecting the spinal column. Spina bifida progresses from a cleft, or splitlike opening, in the back part of the backbones (the spinal vertebrae). In more severe cases, it involves the spinal cord. Spina bifida is the most common of a group of birth defects known as neural tube defects, which affect the central nervous system. It can impair your toddler’s brain, spine, spinal cord, and meninges (tissues covering and protecting the brain and the spinal cord).
