: Not only is Sophie a cutie, but she's a STRONG GAL TOO. You see she as diagnosed at birth with Spina Bifida, the most common birth defect in the US, affecting the brain and/or spine in an average of eight babies a day.
Her case of Spina Bifida involves her bladder. But she's FIGHTING THROUGH the illness, and is looking GREAT!!!
I have Spina Bifida and it is a lifelong disability and it can be very serious but also you can live a normal life just like anyone else. Their daughter seems to have the mildest case of the disability. In most cases you are in a wheelchair or have to where braces on your legs. Much respect to them and for raising awareness about it.
