"Cautious Optimism"

That is what our OB said he sees that we have, which is a good thing. We almost felt defeated from the news we received a couple of days ago. Suddenly, we feel a ray of hope. We are not going to let the Evil One conquer. We know that anything is possible with God and we need all the prayer warriors we can get. We've received so many emails and phone calls with supportive and encouraging words from our friends and family after we had informed them of the news yesterday. Doctors are also human and we've heard of doctors making wrong in-utero diagnoses or seeing something that indicates abnormality on an ultrasound only to discover in a later ultrasound that whatever they saw initially has miraculously disappeared. Not to get our hopes high but prayer is so powerful and we see our baby being born healthy in the end. We believe that whatever the doctors saw in the ultrasound a few days ago couldn't have been God's doing but something the Divine Physician can possibly fix. We have less than 11 weeks and we know that with lots of prayer and trust in God, who says a miracle isn't possible? So we have the MRI and the fetal echocardiogram scheduled in a week. We are praying that the doctors don't see anything as serious as the other sonographers and radiologist made it out to be. This baby could very well be normal and healthy even with the findings in the ultrasound so we are going to pray like we've never prayed before because we trust that God will take care of everything. As someone told us recently, "we often find that what we think are trials or problems are opportunities to show God's power and His love." Those words spoke volumes to us. We do believe this is an opportunity to show His power and His love. Maybe if we all pray hard enough and we allow God to do His will and a miracle ensues, everyone who knows would be a witness to God's work! We totally believe that. We know that some things are out of our control and the only thing we can do right now is to pray, pray, pray and we can't do it alone. We chose life for our baby, we opted out of all the tests that detect any defects or syndromes, and even after finding out about his supposed condition, we still choose life for him. God is the only hope we have. If after all the praying and the doctors are right, then we'll at least know we tried with everything we have.
