Recalling first days of her baby daughter mother Sharlotte said: “Abortion was never an option for us, even if I could spend just a few minutes with my little girl I would be happy. I called a funeral home to find out our options as we prepared ourselves for the worst. On May 4, 2012, doctors delivered Isabella by emergency C-section after she hadn’t grown in two weeks. Seeing her for the first time I was terrified, all I could see was this sac on the back of her head. Share on Facebook Share on Twitter encephalocele A scan at 20 weeks revealed Isabella had the birth defect but her parents never gave up hope on her surviving Doctors told us that there was less brain matter in her sac than originally thought, which was such a relief. At three days old she went into surgery to have the sac removed but we still didn’t know whether she would make it. Luckily the surgery went amazing, there was mostly fluid in the sack and we were informed Isabella had no other obvious abnormalities. Doctors were even able to place the small part of her brain back into her skull – we couldn’t believe it.” Share on Facebook Share on Twitter encephalocele Isabella’s parents Sharlotte and Jim (left) hold her days after she was born with the fluid-filled sac on the back of her head Shorlty afterwards Sharlotte and her husband Jim Grote were able to take their little girl home. They faced an anxious future as they still didn’t know whether she would be able to walk or talk. Miraculously Isabella started to make huge progress sooner than expected. At around nine months old she was able to sit up by herself and at 18 months she took her first steps. Isabella’s speech was slow at first but improved massively when she went to pre-school age three and was soon able to talk in full sentences. Despite two surgeries at the age of two and three to correct vision problems, Isabella is a picture of health. “We feel truly blessed to have our beautiful little girl with us today. She has been through more than most people have to go through in a lifetime. She is just like any other four year old, she loves playing with her dolls and is so loving and caring. She is such a fighter,” Mrs Grote said.
