This Blog was created to help us tell the story of our daughter Bayta and her batles with a rare birth defect called Omphalocele. She is now home but has an even rarer diagnosis of Pentology of Cantrell. It is our desire that this blog, the good the bad and the ugly parts, can be used by other families to help guide them through the scariest experiences of their lives!

Welcome friends and family
Thank you for viewing our blog. We wanted to thank everyone for all their prayers and kind words... but we were getting overwhelmed... so we started this blog. If we don't answer your questions then send us a line and we will try to update the page regularly. Bayta is now at home. She has a small scar and a slightly imperfect belly button to show from her ordeal. Her father has more gray hairs than he would like to admit. If you have a child with an Omphalocele, gastroschisis, or Pentology of Cantrell call us and we will be happy to talk to what we have been through. If you have a question about Bayta, us, Children's Hospital in St. Louis, Ronald McDonald House, our Doctors, our Nurses, or the defects listed above email me Lawyer4rent@gmail.com.
Many prayers from the Bersted's! We are so happy to see Amanda holding her beautiful litle girl...
ReplyDeletePraying my little heart out right now! I'm SO excited that everything is going well so far!
