Grace Update

A friend of Grace sent me this update. I am not a medical professional, so I don't fully understand Grace's health problem, but we do know that she needs our prayers.

Grace has been born. She is 7 lbs 1 oz. she came into the world crying and fiesty. She has 3" opening inthe back of her head where the brain is coming out. the brain is enclosed in a sac. Decisions will have to be made but do not have to be made today. Apgar is score of 8 out of 10. Too early for prognois.

Making the Decision to Not Make the Decision

I get the question, "Are you going to have any more kids?" asked often. Since finding out Magdalena's diagnosis it was always a tough question to answer. We had always envisioned ourselves with multiple children, but there was always the lingering thought of having to endure this difficult situation again. Although it is less than a one percent chance that we would have another child with T18, the percentage still exists.

Being pregnant was physically uncomfortable, but I was referring to the constant emotional exhaustion. As Magdalena continued to do well, Noah and I weren't sure when to begin thinking about other children. Noah and I discussed that I would work really hard at losing my weight, but I was willing to be five pounds more than what I was originally. People poked fun at my not eating Magdalena's birthday cakes...
