All parents must face an exciting nine-month wait before
meeting the little bundle of joy that has formed
in mommy’s belly. There is nothing better than
hearing the baby’s first screams
when it is finally born into the world.
Other parents, on the other hand, may find that the birth of a child
is something they could never have predicted. In the late 1990s,
Mary and Brad Kish of Illinois, USA, awaited the arrival of their
daughter with bated breath. Mary’s pregnancy had been uneventful,
and the birth had gone smoothly. There were no indications that anything
was wrong with their baby girl Michelle during the delivery. However,
as she opened her eyes, physicians immediately recognized that something
was awry. They didn’t figure it out until they looked through
medical books and consulted a geneticist from another hospital.
