On July 12, my family was given some shocking and unexpected news regarding our unborn daughter. I was approximately 20 weeks pregnant and was told she would be a left arm limb deficient individual.

Consultation with the Advanced Fetal Care Center

My husband and I went to Children's Hospital Boston in September for a consultation via the prenatal department. Nurse Donna Morash, RN, is a loving individual who has shown so much love and concern for her little patients and their family members. She arranged for us to meet Dr. Peter Waters, MD, Associate Chief of Orthopedic Surgery.

Care and answers from the Orthopedics team

What an astounding experience. Dr. Waters took the time to review the ultrasounds and answer our questions and concerns. He was supportive, compassionate, and reassuring to us.

Leaving Children's after our consultation my husband and I were so elated over the news our little girl would be just find and this limb deficiency appeared to be an isolated issue.

Children's and all the staff members work above and beyond their job functions. The staff was caring, loving and compassionate.

The day our beautiful little girl was born all we had to do was welcome her into our family with open hearts full of excitement and love that she as finally here! Our daughter is a remarkable little girl and she has truly enriched our lives.

Thank you Children's for being supportive and noble. You are all beyond amazing. You should all be so proud as you have touched many little lives in so many ways.

Love and friendship,
Sherrie and Louis Juris and Family
