When Claudine and Dave Fitzgibbon’s unborn baby boy was diagnosed with spina bifida, it was devastating.
This was their third diagnosis and they couldn’t contemplate the idea of terminating another pregnancy.
Their doctor told them about a risky but revolutionary operation that had only been performed in Australia once before. This in utero procedure wasn’t a cure but would hopefully correct a large number of the baby’s physical abnormalities.
The stakes were high, but Claudine and Dave decided to take the gamble.
Baby Harvey entered the world 18 months ago, but questions remained. Would he still be badly affected by spina bifida? Would he ever be able to walk?
This week, Australian Story catches up with Claudine, Dave and baby Harvey to see whether their gamble has paid off
