Background to the Hansen family - Doug and wife Jen -

When Jen was 5 months pregnant she went in for a routine ultrasound. The Dr noticed several possible strange things. He ordered another ultrasound (one that could see more). The Dr. told us that our baby girl had several deformities and hydrocephalus and would probably never survive birth and if she did she might only live a few hours. Jen picked out the name Angel for our little girl and decided to leave the future up to God.
Angel was born 3 weeks early June 27, 2001 and was in the NICU at CHOC. The Dr.s were still unsure how long Angel had to live. We were told things about her that we had never heard of and did not know what they were. (Arthrogryposis,Microcephaly,Hydrocephalus).
The Dr.s said that Angel had a brain malformation (that still has yet to be
determined) and Angel had only aprox. 25% of her brain. We really did not
know what to do. All we could do was to hold her and pray for the best.
When Angel was 8 days old we were shocked and thrilled that the Dr wanted
us to take Angel home. Over the next 18 months Angel has had two major surgeries and spends 3 hours a week in physical therapy. Angel is about 19lbs, 30 inches long and is just starting to learn to roll over. We won't go into all the things the Dr's thought she could not ever do. Angel can smile, laugh, and seems to know our voices. The best thing is waking her up in the morning and seeing her smile at you. Angel seems to be very happy and loves life.
Angel has been diagnosed with the following:
Arthrogryposis Microcephaly and multiple muscular-skeletal deformities Hydrocephalus A brain malformation that still has yet to be determined?
Angel was born with aprox. 25% of her brain, has dislocated hips, two conjoined fingers on each had, two toes on each foot and she has 1 kidney.
Angel under went surgery to have a shunt placed in her head on 8/2/01. She had to have a G-tube (feeding tube) put in on 6/02. Angel underwent bilateral hindfoot reconstructive surgeries for a clubfoot deformity on 1/25/02 (on both feet).
