Tamara said...: I'm so happy you decided to let us into your world with Mal. It provides so many with strength to face the coming challenges. I know that with each fight you fight and with each challenge you face and overcome, you become stronger, and through you, also me. Thanks for that. Looking forward to getting more info about Mallorie.; Friday, September 19, 2008 at 9:27:00 AM CDT
Anonymous said...: Thank you so much for the update on Mal's upcoming surgery. I am confident that our Lord will watch over her and all of you through this. I pray for all that you asked for in your update, as well as continued strength for her and all of you. I am faithful He will guide you through this, wrap His wondrous arms around all of you and keep you safe. I am thrilled you can request your preferred anesthesiologist and I am certain she will be there to do her job the way that has allowed you to trust her. I will pray for a quick recovery and that there will be little pain to manage.

I have never commented or "blogged" but I guess there is a first time for everything! If you can share all of this with me and others, I can share too! After all, one thing we have in common, wherever we are is our love and care for you and your family.It doesn't matter that is doesn't seem eloquent, it matters that you know I love you, will pray for you and keep you all very close to my heart. I love you all!

the beginning of mallorie rose's story

In October 2006, we went for an ultrasound for our fifth child, and were told that our daughter probably had a chromosomal defect. We were urged to get an amniocentesis so that genetic testing could be done, “so the doctors will know what decisions to make.” The specialist told us that he suspected Trisomy 13 or 18, and if he was correct, then no OB would do a c-section because it wouldn’t make a difference for the end outcome. Besides, no surgeon would operate on her back (she had a meningocele – spina bifida), because “Trisomy 18 and 13 are what are called lethal conditions. They are incompatible with life.”

That’s how our story with her began, but it is most certainly not the end. As her amazing pediatrician said about examining her at birth, “I looked into her eyes, and she looked back at me and said, I’m here for the long haul, chick.”
