By Jessica Sanchez
My name is Jessica Sanchez. You may recognize me from the Courage to Shine article I wrote back in 2016. I am currently 33 years old and still reside in Washington State. Born with classic bladder exstrophy, I have strived to live a life where this birth defect does not define me, it’s just a part of my story. If you were to ask anyone close to me who I am they would tell you I am a wife, mother, sister daughter, worship leader, administrator, friend, and a woman of faith. Life with bladder exstrophy hasn’t always been easy but in my case, I truly believe I’m one of the lucky ones. The unknown my parents experienced the night I was born ended up resulting in a journey I wouldn’t change for the world.
On March 30th, 1990, my parents, Alan and Sherrie Croshaw welcomed their 1st child into the world; a 7 pound, 10 ounces little girl. Shortly after the delivery while the nurses were examining all my fingers and toes, my parents began noticing there was some confusion. After a considerable amount of time, the doctor walked into the room with a textbook and said, “I think this is what your daughter has.” After informing my parents that I needed to be flown to a larger hospital they were given the choice of Spokane or Seattle. The start of my luck with bladder exstrophy began the moment they chose Seattle. I will forever be grateful for that decision because it meant that I was going to Seattle Children’s Hospital and was now a patient of Dr. Michael Mitchell, a world-renowned pediatric urologist.
