(LIFENEWS) – A mother who bravely defied her doctor’s advice to abort her baby girl celebrates her little miracle.
Michelle Bower and her husband, Michael, were urged to abort their baby after she was diagnosed with spina bifida. Luckily for baby Lacey Grace, her parents held on to her life and refused to give in to the defeatism of medical staff.
Mrs Bower, from Indiana in the United States, said: “We met with the doctor right after the scan and heard the words ‘neural tube defect’, ‘lemon-shaped head’ and ‘spina bifida’ to describe our daughter for the first time.
