Jennie: Happily Ever Elizabeth... the Augusta toddler living with Caudal Regression Syndrome

[@everybodylovesniko]

i'm 14 and i have caudal regression, the doctors said i wasn't going to live, so far my life has been pretty normal other then my legs.

[@delilahcollin2239]

I have cadual regression too I sometimes hate sometimes love it

[@austinrichards1740]

She’s gorgeous I’m happy I wanted to see an update on this girl and here it is

[@jossies451]

I can almost see the guilt and pain in Samantha's face, maybe she's just a tired mother but this is really heartbreaking. That's why I say it's just 9 months, put down the cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, drugs, and take care of yourself. Rather struggle those 9 months than cause pain for a lifetime.

[@tile2820]

U Could see her on Dr Phill the girl is horrible ... She slept with god knows who.. and hasn’t checked herself during pregnancy.. I just cannot understand woman like that!?!

[@jossies451]

@@tile2820 I can't understand it either, it's terrible. I think young people have a problem with understanding that there are consequences for their actions. It's really tragic for this child. Maybe she thought it would never happen to her.

[@elizabethkachura3312]

It happened because she has diabetes, it wasn’t her fault just saying

[@jossies451]

@@elizabethkachura3312 It was her fault. She wasn't keeping her diabetes in check.

[@elizabethkachura3312]

Jossie S she said that she was trying her best to manage it. Trust me I have people in my family with diabetes, and it’s often really hard to manage. All I’m saying is that I think it would be really unfair if she’s being blamed for this if it isn’t nessasarily her fault

[@celineterra8107]

Look at her eyes. She’s very regretful. I was so mad when I watched that episode but there’s nothing you can do now. God bless her! She’s going to have strong arms 😁❤️ she’s just like a regular toddler constantly going places lol

[@one_ice_cold_chiq]

She's a cutie little thing. Bet she's a lot of fun andba handful at home lol

[@kiracolada7002]

I just watched the dr Phil segment and went straight to google to see an update. I’m so happy this little girl survived ! What a happy ending for such a heartbreaking start ❤️❤️ god bless

[@TradBarbie]

A happy ending is a psychopath who makes a baby with heart problems, a bent spine, and frog legs???

[@kittenmittens4387]

@@TradBarbie yeah, some people are acting like the baby is "totally healthy" and a "miracle" for being born. 1st of all, there was no indication that the pregnancy was not viable so no miracle there. This beautiful girl will face challenges and discrimination as a wheelchair bound individual. Worse- she has severe organ deformities that impair their functions. She can still have a long happy and successful life, but it will be significantly more challenging. Sam portrays herself as a victim of CRS when really she had complete knowledge that she was pregnant and ignored medical advice.

[@TradBarbie]

@@kittenmittens4387 Yeah she's a demon for doing that to her baby.

[@bettyperez6769]

I have the same disability and seeing this makes me so happy I don’t know why it makes me so happy but at 8:10 when she comes I started to smile she’s the cutest thing ever

[@royadartube]

I wish you and this little girl the best. Please stay strong and take very good care of yourself.

[@nelehreytri552]

I’m so happy to see this beautiful little girl and to me she looks incredibly healthy! Congratulations to her young mum too this is a wonderful update & im here from seeing this first on dr Phil ❤️

[@yme9953]

Aw bless her she’s gorgeous. It’s easy to judge but better to forgive and look forward!

[@terraalbritton6405]

I am so grateful they chose to keep her.

[@abbywilson199aw]

This girl caused all of this for her child. She’s selfish and negligent... zero respect for her

[@broganofriverseese650]

Boom. Yup. You must also be here from dr phil?

[@abbywilson199aw]

Savannah Rapalski yes, she made me soo mad!

[@villainousextremity]

She literally got pregnant by a 33 year old man online...like wtf...not trying to hate on her or anything but she was supposed to be taking responsibility for herself and stop blaming things on her mother who fought so hard to keep her alive.

[@ariellesarinafirestone7823]

Yup

[@SignedOff402]

Overindulgent and defiant.

[@allys744]

I don’t respect the mom. Samantha caused so many problems for her baby. I understand she’s a diabetic. But she smoked and said she had one glass of wine, even thought she was 19 and pregnant. It’s heartbreaking, but, in spite of this, I’m glad the baby is doing well.

[@iambored678]

It's not like she made one mistake, she made intentionally bad decisions for months on end

[@JustAnAverageWoman69]

@@iambored678 Exactly, she willfully harmed her baby. She doesn't deserve to have a child.

[@Linda-mo5sl]

@@iambored678 we all make mistakes and live to regret it. Can you even imagine how guilty this mother feels every time she looks at her daughter? I know that no one judges me for mistakes I've made more than I condemn myself. I bet you that if she had it to do over she would do it very differently. By the grace of God alone I haven't made mistakes of this magnitude but there are many things I would have done differently.

[@TradBarbie]

That baby is *not* doing well *AT ALL.* Why do people keep saying that?? Her mother destroyed *everything* except her pretty little face.

[@TradBarbie]

@@Linda-mo5sl Guilt??? I see dupers delight from a chick who now gets to live for free off of tax payers *AND* is getting tons of attention and sympathy.

I'm thrilled this turned out this way! God bless all of you!🙏🙏

[@lozzylols]

Lovely to see this, Elizabeth is gorgeous, only thing that annoyed me was when Jennie asked Samantha questions, Christina kept answering. It seems she is still the main voice in that family!

[@modiulelawson9790]

It’s not being Diabetic Type 1, its about not looking after your Diabetes especially if you have a baby to be responsible for, before birth and after!!!

[@Autumn1988]

[@austinrichards1740]

Thank you Jennie for the update

[@modiulelawson9790]

Sounds like a marking project for a mother that caused child abuse.

[@royadartube]

I followed up on this story since it came out. young mother did very better than everybody was thinking. She made it. She is doing her best and enjoying life as it is. Let's hope and pray for the best for the baby, mother, and grandma.

[@starriderkittykat9064]

Wait, Doctor Stork said it happens in one in every 1in every 2500.. the Mother caused this baby to be like this!.. this can be Avoided!

[@sharonlee_333]

“The baby is so happy” she’s gonna hate and resent her mother. Mark my word she did that to her baby out of being unreasonable!! Plan stupidity I don’t feel bad for Samantha just her baby!

[@melanierapp537]

The grandma looks like she loves the baby more then ma..lol

[@hannahrobinson1728]

This is absolutely heartbreaking 💔

[@jennysan9855]

Glad to see the grandma help with the gradaughter, in the Dr phil show she was over it.

[@crazytheowl4219]

i have caudal regression and i hate it, i have to walk on my hands and use a wheel chair.

[@monicascott2354]

Sorry to learn of your frustration. Shocking as the comment was, I appreciated your candor. I watched this family on Dr. Phil and it's heartbreaking to know the sweet baby's condition was caused by Samantha not properly caring for her Type 1 diabetes while pregnant. Your position should be heard as one affected by the disorder because pregnant diabetics need to understand the bigger picture when managing their disease.

[@bettyperez6769]

I do to but I believe god made us this way I sometimes hate but I sometimes love it I hope you read this

[@bettyperez6769]

Monica Scott it’s not the mother’s fault the baby is like that

[@rainaa1997]

Betty Perez In most cases the cause is untreated type 1 diabetes in pregnancy. Not “god,” it’s the fault of the mother 90% of the time.

[@delilahcollin2239]

rainaa1997 no my mom had it and yea all of her children turned out fine but me so I believe that god made me this was for a reason

[@elizabethknelssen6504]

She is sooo beautiful

[@auroraborealis2442]

I'm not concerned about Elizabeth's physical disability, but I am really worried for her cognition. I hope she will not have any cognitive issues in the future. She's a lovely baby and grandma clearly adores her

Just watched these people on a rerun of Dr. Phil. Dysfunctional for sure. Hope they received therapy because they sure NEEDED it.

This is so amazing. I would like to know more about facial palsy

I hope this grandma is ready to explain to Elizabeth why she said that she shouldn’t have existed, and how she was going to get “stuck” with her. She will see these things someday.

well, I'm pleased to see Dr Phil is wrong, he said they would not be able to parent this child . I'm sure he is very happy also.

[@emilywickler8871]

He provided help for both women. As each was on the show, without that help, they would not have been able.

[@klaudialozano7568]

Grandma seems to more the mother of Elisabeth then the actual mother

[@pixybell4]

Overbearing

[@one_ice_cold_chiq]

I noticed that too. Like she's the mom and Samantha is auntie or grandma.

1 in 350 babies born. Understand that

It’s a huge thing to say you will carry on with pregnancy for organ donation..... I wish them all the very best x

[@jeyonce8901]

Yes that took my breath away.

[@barbieblue3336]

The grandmother ignored what Dr Phil said. She was always the problems. Drunkard . Who works 7 days a week, ignores their daughter? Didnt teach her to handle the diabetes. Didnt give her love. Let her look for love on the internet. At 10!! Negkectgul. Where are the men? What a nice woman, the salon owner

[@lozzylols]

Finally someone else who sees it my way! What annoys me most is people who choose to have children but are happy to dump them when they become 18. Yes you can hope they have happy healthy productive lives, but if you bring a child into the world, you should expect a job for life!

[@RationalAxis]

Dr Phil looks very feminine these days. Nice that he has all his hair back though.

[@dirtyversa3165]

This is gross.

[@barbieblue3336]

Why is that grandmother so stupid? Of course the baby stole her heart. Does she have a heart, she was only thinking about herself

[@barbieblue3336]
