When Darsy was pregnant, she learned that her daughter would be born with a serious birth defect called gastroschisis. Her obstetrician referred her to Valley Children's Maternal Fetal Center, where Darsy received the best care for her high-risk pregnancy and for her child. After her daughter, Sharlyn, was born, Valley Children's pediatric surgeons repaired the defect. Years later, they also took care of Darsy's second child, Rivaldo, who was also born with the same condition. Click the video above to hear more of Darsy's story.
