A few months earlier, the Martin’s were halfway through a normal pregnancy when an abnormal ultrasound appointment changed the course of their lives forever.
“We went to our anatomy scan, excited to find out if it was a boy or girl,” Vicky told us. “But our world came crashing down when the doctor explained that there was a problem and ‘it could be lethal.’ That word, lethal, still rings in my ears to this day.”
A visit to the maternal fetal specialist confirmed what the ultrasound tech suspected that day: their baby had Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) or brittle bone disease.
OI has many different forms, some severe, some life-threatening, and even some that are milder. Isaiah was born with type III, the most severe form in babies who don’t die as newborns.
