Megan© 1999/2000 all rights reserved
We never imagined wishing for a child with a limb difference. In Megan's case however, the fact that having one hand is her ONLY challenge seems like a blessing. Knowing all the frightening complications our daughter escaped, its easier to be thankful for all that she has rather than dwell on what she was born without. The support we have gathered from I-CAN in the short time since Megan's
birth has been an amazing source of comfort. The emotional stories and
experiences shared by parents and mentors are constant reminders that our little
girl is, and will be, just fine exactly the way she is. We are thankful for such
an inspirational support network and we look forward to meeting, sharing, and
learning from everyone involved. ~ Stephanie

Megan
Anna Lynne was born in 1999. Defying the odds, she came into the world
healthy and weighed a surprising 9 lbs. 10 oz! At risk for numerous
complications in the association of birth defects known as VATER or VACTERL,
Megan was seen immediately by neonatalogists at birth. During her first few days
of life she went through extensive testing in the NICU. Each exam brought better
news. After months of worry and waiting, we were able to breathe a huge sigh of
relief. Although Megan does have associations included in VACTERL, nothing
threatens her life.
