She is adorable - but I can't agree with the rest of this. Spina bifida is a seriously disabling condition. Right now it's not visible to us in Morgan's pictures, but it's not just "a little adjustment once in a while" for most children and adults. It's major, and it's every day of their lives and usually, of their family's lives, which often revolve around the person's needs and limitations. At least things have gotten better with better accessibility, the availability of adaptive devices and more aware social attitudes.

I am very, very glad for your grandson's sake, as well as for everyone in your family, that he won't have spina bifida.
