Wendy wrote, "When God promised to give us children, I thought we will have twins at once, instead we had only Seth. We were so excited, but in just 4 months, our excitement turned into pain when instead of knowing his gender, we saw that our child has cyst at the bottom of his spine."

"My son has spina bifida. A neuro defect that may be prevented by taking folic acid before you get pregnant. Im glad I did take folic acid even before we got married. If not, I would have blamed myself for what happened to Seth. My knowledge of who God is, made me understand that He is in complete control no matter what."

The former actress continued, "What we heard were consistent. Your child needs operation. Since its sacral spina bifida, it may affect his bladder, his bowel movement, and worst he may never walk. His brain may be pulled down by the cyst and may make him autistic or have his brain affected, or have hydrocephalus. If he can't be operated, he may have infection that can cause him to have cerebral palsy...I had a day, when I was just in so much anguish. God promised Seth to us, but it seemed like He was being taken away so soon. Or our dream of us enjoying him became tortures of worry and fear. Questions were coming into my head."

Nonetheless, Wendy did not lose faith. Although she has a lot of questions on whether they will be able to take care of Seth, she continued in the comments, "All those were hard for me to swallow, so I chewed on God's promises instead. He would send me hope through a site of moms who have children like mine. They showed me photos of their children. They were moms of hope. And one by one, the treasures engraved in my heart were becoming useful as I recall them in my sorrow."

Putting their trust in God, Wendy said that she and her husband chose to be excited. "At first, I did not want to do any maternity shoot or baby showers because I know we would spend so much in his operation, but God knows better to bless us. People and blessings He would send our way. And Seth is to be celebrated just like any other baby."

Early Monday, June 12, Wendy has asked her followers to pray for Seth as he undergoes the operation.
Having encountered a miscarriage last year, Wendy, in an earlier Instagram post, said that they have not ceased praying for a child of their own.
