Genetic Link?

Well, yesterday was a pretty tough day for the G family. Mike has an identical twin Jason, and he and his wife Deanna are expecting their second (a litttle girl!) come this July. Because of the problems with our two, and Deanna being worried that there could be something wrong with this little one, they decided to go and see the perinatologists down at Utah Valley. They are not 100% sure, but they think that this little girl may potentially have the same condition as Ryker, Hypoplastic Left Heart Sydrome, which is a pretty significant defect. They did not get the best pictures, so they are going in April to see the cardiologists to do a fetal echo and will find out more then. This is really tough for our family, especially Jason and Deanna. I am blessed to see a lot of babies born and living and thriving with HLHS, but the only experience that our family has with HLHS is with Ryker and a brother-in-law's niece that lived only 11 days last May-June. Their is so much hope to me. If you live life always expecting the worst to happen, you become a glass-half-empty kind of person. I prefer to see the glass half full, and place my faith and trust in our Heavenly Father that he truly has a plan for each and every one of us. There really was no physical reason for Ryker to pass away. I truly believe with all my heart that he was called home, and he was not here a moment longer or shorter then what Heavenly Father wanted. So now, we put our faith in Heavenly Father, that he does love and know Jason and Deanna better then anyone, and that he has a plan for this precious little girl. Your prayers are asked for to bless our family that we will have peace and hope that this little girl will fight whatever may come her way, and that Jason and Deanna will have the mental and physical strength to fight too. What a special family to be blessed with such strong little babies!
