Test Results

The doctor called three days later with our first set of test results.  Our baby had normal chromosomes...and was a boy! God is great!  We weren't going to find out the sex, but under the circumstances, we had to.  All the other test results came back normal as well.  This was our first hurdle and the doctor now wanted to focus on the heart.  We were scheduled for a heart echo 3 weeks later.  A heart echo is basically an ultrasound that takes a really close look at the heart.  We started to share our story with all our family and friends, co-workers and students, and we knew we had many people praying for us.  I tried to mentally put the baby's heart problem out of mind until we knew more information and could prepare ourselves for what was to come.  We praised God for the first set of good news, and kept praying.
