About Lydia

This web page is dedicated to our daughter Lydia Grace Focosi who went to be with our Lord within the hour of her birth on December 3rd, 2007. Our beautiful daughter had a birth defect called anencephaly. "Anencephaly occurs when the "cephalic" or head end of the neural tube fails to close, resulting in the absence of a major portion of the brain, skull, and scalp." We only had a short time with Lydia Grace but we know in our hearts that she felt all of our love. She is a shining star and a beautiful angel who will always be a part of our lives.

Take folic acid before you're pregnant.
Folic acid, a B vitamin, helps prevent birth defects of the brain and spinal cord when taken before the end of early pregnancy. It is available in most multivitamins, as a folic acid-only supplement and in some foods.
