Update on baby Adam....it isn't good!
Unfortunately, there is more bad news to give you! Jason called yesterday and let us know what the Dr's have told them! The update is as follows...
Baby Adam, at 23 weeks gestation (still in tummy) has a "possible" extra 18th chromosome. If so...he will probably not live more than a month outside the womb! If that isn't enough, he has a hole in his diaphram that his stomach has grown through and is pushing against his lungs. His lungs will not be able to grow the way they should! The way it looks right now is the baby will probably be severely deformed and/or have severe mental retardation as well!
Jason and Wendy were asked if they wanted to terminate the pregnancy! They decided to have an amniocentesis (fluid drained from womb) done and then decide from there!
Of course as you can imagine, Jason and Wendy are devastated...we aren't far behind!
Either way, Wendy will have to deliver the baby vaginally. A C-section would be too dangerous for her! My sister-in-law had to deliver a eight month old stillborn fetus like this years back. She was a mess for quite a while as I'm sure you all can understand.
Jason has asked that we pray "God's Will" and I ask the same from all of you!
Please hold all of us up in prayer at this time! I will let you all know as we find out what's going to happen!
Thank you....with love, Deb M.
Oh hon...
I am soooo sorry to hear the news. I will pray for them all.

Debbie my heart is breaking for this innocent child of God. It is hard to pray for Gods will but we must do that in times like these. Will pray for Wendy and Jason and you all too to be able to accept whatever is the fate of tiny Adam....Love and prayers go out to all of you. Cling together in these times and grow closer to God.

Dear Deb,
I am lifting baby Adam, Jason, Wendy, you, David and your family in prayer. I said a prayer before I actually posted this and I will have this prayer added to the prayer chain at church. GOD CAN AND DOES perform miracles each and every day.
When my daughter, Stephanie was born (on a Thurs) the docs told me that she wouldnt live through the night and IF she did-she wouldnt live through the weekend....OK? Well-they took her to Springfield to Cox South because they did not have a NICU unit here in Joplin at the time. I never even got to hold my precious bundle of joy. I left the hospital against my doctors orders-as I was very sick as well and they wanted me to stay-without my baby-for a week-anyhow-I left early, on Saturday morning and I went straight to Springfield....We got there-stayed at Ronald McDonald house-they prayed with us-everyone put Stephanie on prayer chains etc-and they said if she did live through the weekend-she would be there for AT LEAST a whole month and that she would be blind, deaf and mentally retarded. Ok-well, on Tues-the doctors met with us and said that as of Saturday (the day we got to Springfield) that everything with Stephanie had changed-and they didnt have the answers and wanted to run a new battery of tests to verify nothing else was wrong-well-they didnt tell us how good she was doing because they thought she may take a turn for the worst before she got better-that sort of thing....OK-well-WE BROUGHT HER HOME ON TUES EVENING!!! Now-the docs told us at that time that she would never see her 5th b-day....she did bounce back and forth to childrens mercy hospital in KC and several hospitals in our area-she DID go blind, she DID go deaf AND had some learning difficulties-In total, I had about 6-7 docs tell me she would never see her 5th b-day, and guess what? GOD WAS GREATER than the docs. The day before she was to undergo her head surgery-her tumor disappeared-they did an MRI on her head to see if the tumor had dislodged-they couldnt believe it could be gone-well-it WAS gone-and when the doctor asked this innocent 2 1/2 yr old what she did with the lump on her head (was back behind her ear) She looked at the doctor and without missing a beat-she said-God came to me when I was sleeping and he put his hand on my head and he took it away from me. She jumped off the table and stood there-telling the doc, the nurse, my mom and myself about that night that God visited her-told her that everything would be okay and she described the angels flying around in her room, what they were wearing and how she wasnt scared at all-the child NEVER said a word to any of us before that time. It is documented in her chart at the Mercy Childrens Hospital in KC.......Steph got sick 2 days before her 5th b-day and I thought-this is it-BUT-I REFUSED to believe anything horrible AND she is now 16 1/2 and has not been hospitalized since that time BEFORE her 5th b-day and what a party that was!! I dont tell this story often-however-I have told it in front of the whole congregation at church and a few others-but I felt like I needed to share it with you. GOD IS GREATER.....WE WILL be praying and holding you all up in prayer!! Love you all, Janet
Deb, My prayers are with the whole family...And I will be calling our church prayer line as well....May God Bless your family and give you all the strenght for the journey ahead of you!....Luv & Hugs...Tammy~ammy

I am so sorry to hear this news and won't pretend to know what to say. I will lift your family up in prayer and also pray for the lord to lay a miracle on your son and Wendy. I pray that he give you and your husband the strength to hold Jason and Wendy up in this great time of need.
Hugs and prayers LOTS of prayers
