Trisomy 18

It was confirmed today.  Olivia Grace has Trisomy 18.  This diagnosis is a fatal chromosone disorder.  The chances of survival are very slim. 

I do think today we have some peace of mind that we have answers to many questions.  I think before hand we had come to terms with many outcomes.  We had shifted our prayers from healing, to God taking the situation into his own hands.  He is the only one in life that knows our path.  We ultimately pray for wisdom and for God to lead us. 


"I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and fortress: my God; in Him will I trust." (Psalm 91:2)

    You don't know us but we are praying for you and your sweet family. We met your Mom while we were visiting family in Abilene over Thanksgiving break. It's such a small world...we realized that we live in the same neighborhood as you! We would love to help out however we can. Your mom has our contact info. Please know that we are praying.
