Just a quick post - I have an appointment with the Maternal Fetal Medicine department at Providence on Monday at 8am. For those who don't know, on my Quad Test (it measures certain protein levels in the blood to gauage the possibility of four different disabilities the fetus might have), the probability of Downs Syndrome came back high (probability of 1 in 100). This test is (as I've found out) amazingly faulty and delivers an absurdly high number of false-positives. I have a three-hour appointment Christmas Eve, including an extensive UltraSound. I'm just asking for your prayers, though I know many of you have been praying already - and THANK YOU because I feel such peace about all of this.
Every parent wants a healthy, 'perfect' baby, but I have grown-up around enough disability to know that such isn't always the case, and God works in amazing ways through individuals that some in our society would deem 'un-fit.' I'm so thankful for all the people I've known, from my Uncle with autisim to my good friend with brittle bone disease. I know God is knitting together the pefect baby for His glory and our good. I'm praying for the right perspective and the opportunity to shine for Him, and wisdom for the doctors.
Merry Merry Christmas everyone - love you all!
