October it is! Things have changed some too since I was part of a 5 year study also. I sent them blood while I was expecting my child after Richard, and they sent me pre natal vitamins. Wow, a pretty important find there. Folic Acid..very important to start as soon as you start trying to become pregnant..found out that you are already expecting? Start those vitamins now! First three months... as the baby will be fully formed by the end of the 3. I'm finding out that so many other things are available now for the help of a child once born with this defect. They've come a long way baby. Edit to say, poor Richard is going through a UTI right now. Wish a great big miracle could happen for this. Surgeries yes, but he is sooo..against that thought.
