The nurse noticed how their then-unborn son, Parker, had a larger-than-normal head. She immediately understood that something was wrong so and called for assistance. Parker’s situation was both serious and startling, all the doctors who examined his scans agreed.

It turned out there was a blockage between the third and fourth ventricles of Parker’s brain, one preventing the spinal fluid from draining. As a result, fluid was building up and squeezing Parker’s brain matter against his skull. The condition apparently occurs in two of every 1,000 births in the U.S.

When Crysie and Ryan Grelecki received the news about their baby’s abnormality, they were shocked and concerned. But they did what all parents should do: they stood by their unborn child – unconditionally.

“Throughout my pregnancy when I would let my thoughts spiral downward with thoughts of “what if” and just plan fear, God would remind me of a song. The lyrics that would play over and over in my head and fill me with His peace went like this – “God will make a way, when there seems to be no way, He works in ways we cannot see He will make a way for me … He will be my guide, hold me closely by His side, with love and strength for each new day God will make a way,” Crysie shared on her Facebook.
