Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum

I am so sad for my dear friend whose baby shower was supposed to be today. She is still pregnant but canceled her shower because just found out the other day that her baby has Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum. The corpus callosum is a collection of many millions of nerve fibers in the middle of the brain. One of its functions is to connect the right and left side of the brain to allow for communication between the two sides, or hemispheres. The corpus callosum coordinates signals from different parts of the brain and helps us in our thinking. Their baby is completely missing this part of its brain. They are having several tests and an amnio this week to see if the baby has more issues than this. The doctor says the baby can lead a fairly normal life but won't know how severe it is until its born. After 3 miscarriages this just doesn't seem fair to her.

Please say a prayer for my friend and her baby.
