Connie, I have been so out of touch I didn't even know Mallorie was in the hospital. I am sorry! I am so glad she is almost home. I will be praying for her. I always remember her in my prayers but I wasn't specifically praying for her hospital stay - thank goodness HE knows everything! With love, Kim
Yay Mallorie, going home today is a great thing and such an answer to prayer sweetie. Give your mom a big hug for me. And enjoy your new "button". Hoping it makes life a little easier for you all:)
I'm so happy to hear that Mallorie is going home! It's now Friday, so I hope t he lack of update means that you getting settled back at home. Happy and healthy, with your new g-tube!! :)
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.”
