Well, we have no news/some news again! I spoke with the genetic counselor yesterday. She informed me that the radiology report came back 'suggestive of' hypochrondroplasia. Well, we have pretty much gotten an idea on what we are doing for Texas. We are exhausting our financial aid possibilities at the moment. As long as we can get the first two out-of-state semesters taken care of then we will be in Tx come July 26th. So we are back to TRUSTING THE LORD for all wisdom in our decisions. He has opened so many doors, and now we just want to be sure that just because the doors are open it truly is the way we are to go. We want to be sure this is where we need to be at this point in our lives, not just a pretty package on rotten candy! Hope all of you remember to look to the Lord today!! PS- I'd load some new pictures, but our computer won't let me... sorry, I'll put some up as soon as I can |
Umm, the blood test was negative for that right?? Yes, the blood test was negative. So, the process is going to be that--- now the geneticist and the radiologist will look at the films together, more than likely decide to send it off to a specialist, and then we hear what he has to say. So........ MORE WAITING. On a good note, I was mistaken when I said that hypo. also is a severely short-statured type of dwarfism. Average height is between 5'-5'4. My mom works with a little person (p.c. term) and he has a friend whose son has hypo. and he is 5'8". There are hardly any medical complications that go with this as well. PRAISE THE LORD! If he has to be labled, this is the one to be labled!! 
I am still not 100% convinced, my research doesn't quite agree with this. However I am looking at physical and they are looking at his bones. But his DNA is also saying no. So... back to the drawing board? Well, we know for sure that at least one test result is wrong! It's hard because as the days go on, he looks so normal. His body is catching up with his head and he is getting so big! He basically skipped 3-6 months clothing and went straight to 6-9 months! So he had a late start, but he's just going and going now. He rolls all over the living room! He finally picked up on the rolling back to front thing and loves it! He is standing with little support. Eating like a horse! And staying pretty regular. I just have to keep lots of pears on hand. He loves them so that's okay with me. 
We are moving. Eh. You know those times where you just have to rely on the Lord completely because you have some many different emotions going in so many different ways?? This is one! I am so excited for my husband to get to finish school at a well recognized engineering school. I am so excited to be close to my family!! And yet, P'cola is our home. We have our church family here, and family here. The beach!!!! Who is my husband without the beach and fishing?! I know, there are lakes, but I'd rather be in water I can see through so I can look for sharks, than murky water a gator can get me through!! And there's no triggerfish or tuna in a lake!!! I won't miss a lot of things about this town in and of itself. But you can't replace family, and our church is that. It's our brothers and sisters in Christ, like-minded believers that you don't just find anywhere. I am well aware that there are others out there that we can grow to love just as much, and I pray this is the case. There are many sidewalks in a christians walk with the Lord, and not all have daffodils on the sides of them. Comments
