Thank you for sharing your story

Please include details about your baby's experience that could help prevent another family from experiencing the tragic effects of GBS. Tremendous improvements have been made in prevention and treatment of GBS, thanks largely to grassroots efforts. Every individual effort helps, and we'd like to hear about your successes.
