Al and Judy have three children: One son born with spina bifida
The happily married couple Al and Judy have added three more blessings to their life. The couple has three kids together- two sons and one daughter.
Their eldest son Jeffrey Hunt was born in 1981 and five years later, the couple gave birth to their second son Benjamin Hunt.
Finally, gorgeous little angel, their first daughter, Lauren Ann was born in 1988. But, life always is not a fairy tale as their eldest son, Jeffrey was diagnosed with mild spina bifida during his birth.
This obviously made the young parents pretty stressed. If you don' know what Spina bifida is then it is a birth defect where there is an incomplete closing of the backbone and membranes around the spinal cord.
So, now we know that it's an incurable genetic defect, we can only imagine how shattered and heartbroken Judy and Al felt when they first found out about this.
Despite all this, they did not give up at all and dedicated much to make their son better and an independent man and make his life much easier and as normal as possible.
When Jeffrey was 16, he had to undergo surgery to get better which caused him brain damage and disability.
But his parents never let him give up and he got to have a normal childhood and even graduate from college and live independently in a special community.
