Miracle babies

Our first ultrasound exam for the middle cerebral artery showed a really high level, and we thought that we would have to have a transfusion in utero. We were very scared, but we asked everyone we know to keep us and Sophia in their prayers. Three days later we go for the exam and potential transfusion...Instead of going up, the levels went WAY down! God had answered our prayers. One of the doctors said, "I don't know why it went down. It shouldn't have done that...." Steph and I squeezed each others' hands, smiling knowingly. This wasn't the first time God has provided for our children. Isaiah was taken c-section because he was breach; however, when Dr. Cly began to pull Isaiah out, he said, "God was with you. The umbilical cord is wrapped around his neck twice." Later he explained that Isaiah would probably have died or been handicapped if he weren't taken c-section. We thanked God for the miracle of a breach baby that couldn't be turned around.

We've had some scares but so far everything is going well with Sophia. The anti-c antigen has caused her to be a little anemic, but so far we haven't had to do a transfusion. Every week we go without a transfusion, the better off we are.

It is always hard when it is your children who are sick. We want so badly for our children to be healthy. During pregnancy we dream dreams and have high hopes. We are finding it stressful to be doing these tests every week, but we are greatful for them...We are still dreaming dreams:)
