Thank you for the prayers for our precious little girl, Geneva Marie. I just received a call from the perinatolgist's office and the news is not very encouraging. As of now, her risk for a genetic disorder is at least 1 in 2. They are recommending an amniocentisis so we will know if and what. My AFP results were the only good results which means the likelihood that it would be a neural tube defect are 1 in 62,000. However, the risk for Down's Syndrome and any of the Trisomy disorders is at least 1 in 2. Please pray for us for peace and wisdom and specifically for her health. Some of you may recall that Weston was given less than a 2% chance for survival much less a healthy baby so we have seen what can happen through prayer before. My desire as of now would be to have an amniocentis after 30 weeks but I just don't know what to do. Thank you so much for your prayers, love and support.

Love,
Steph

Just after sending this email, Mommy had some bleeding and we spent the night in the emergency room. The sonographer did a sonogram and found out the bleeding wasn't because YOU were having complications but Mommy's body was having some trouble since I was having complications from my mesh surgery. Daddy and Mommy celebrated the news and Valentine's Day morning by eating at the Waffle House around 5AM on Valentine's Day. We are so thankful you are alive and well.
