This is just a quick update to let everyone know what we know. We recently found out that the Hepatitis C test came back negative (very exciting). The genetic tests on our miscarried child's tissue came back too. She was a little girl, and her demise was from Turner's Syndrome. It's a somewhat regular cause for miscarriage, so that was a little bit of a relief. We were very glad to know that the doctor doesn't believe it was at all connected to Maggie's death or our genetic make up.
Both of these results are good things and we are grateful. We are now starting over at the beginning, believing that our health is good and that we should be able to have healthy children from here on. But how do you start over with the knowledge and heartache that we carry?
I don't have much to write. I'm recovering from sinus surgery and we are weathering the storm of baby showers, birth announcements and other constant reminders of the child we no longer have. And to add to the trouble, the funeral home messed up Maggie's headstone that was put in the ground this week. Just something else to make this process agonizing.
Thank you for the continued prayers and uplifting notes. Joy's day is always made better with a note from a friend or a card, so thank you.
