    Genetic Testing

    Hello all. As some of you know my daughter is pregnant with my first grandchild. We found out last week it's a girl and her name will be Vivian Grace.

    Sonograms done ooh'd and aah'd, now the results of their genetic testing have come in and they are both carriers of Cystic Fibrosis which means there is a 1 in 4 chance that this little girl will be affected.

    She has known since Tuesday, but couldn't tell me because she is so emotional. Anything I wanted to say and did say seemed so inadequate. She had an amnio done Friday and hopefully this will tell us a little more. She is only 12 weeks, so it will be an anxiety-filled pregnancy if the amnio doesn't produce some positive results.

    Darn those two kids were over the moon studying fetus growth every night, and of course they will still do that but in a more somber tone.

    Thanks for listening.

    Does your daughter have faith? Does she acknowledge a greater being, our Creator? NOT TO PREACH, but this is the only thing that pulls me through these kinds of times. Can she just hold hands with you or her husband and pray, try to release her culpability, and know that God is God, or does all this sound like hooey? These are the kinds of questions that would help us know how we can help her, and you.

    You are both in my prayers, and I'm so sorry for the grief...

              Hilary,

              I tried to send a post earlier and just couldn't because it sounded trite.

              Damn.

              I am sending prayers, love and strength to your daughter, her husband, you and your husband (I hope you are together, if not forget him.)

              However, the child is tantamount here. Absolutely.

              Let's all hold hands and pray this works out. Pray, care, love.

              Love,
              Cindi

                      Thanks to you all. We are focusing on the 3 out of 4 who won't have C.F.

                        I agree SK. Focus on the positive. I am so sure this baby will be fine but am sorry for the worry you all will have to go through.
