  1. The Question Does God exist. Not as a theological proposition, not as a debate-stage challenge, but as a human ache — the kind that rises in the quiet moments when no one is asking us to be clever. 2. The Human Angle There are moments — small, almost forgettable — when this question slips into the room unannounced. A child asleep on your chest, breathing in that slow, trusting rhythm.

The name OEIS comes from the four main features present at birth: Omphalocele, Exstrophy of the cloaca, Imperforate anus, and Spinal defects . It is complex, life-altering, and requires highly specialized medical care from day one. Because OEIS is so rare, finding experienced medical teams is a major challenge . Families often must deliver at or relocate to major tertiary hospitals. For those living in rural or remote areas , access to ongoing care can mean constant travel, long separations from home, and limited access to knowledgeable providers, therapists, or trained caregivers once they return home.
