Blessing

This past week we took Nae to Primary Children's Medical Center. Our doctor, Dr. Concoby, referred us to a pediatric pulmonologist. Brennae has had some breathing difficulties and has had pneumonia three times recently. We went to PCMC and they ran a few different tests. One of the tests they ran was a sweat test. They put electrodes on Nae's arms to stimulate the sweat glands. Then they put gauze on it to absorb the sweat and wrap it in plastic wrap. Then we waited a half hour so she could sweat. Then they took the gauze off and sent it to the lab to have it analyzed. If the sweat contains a certain amount of chloride, then there is a chance that Nae could have cystic fibrosis. Well, we got the phone call on Friday that her test was borderline. So now we have to go back up and have a blood test done. They will actually type the blood and see if she is a carrier of the gene for cystic fibrosis. Needless to say, even though this is a scary thing, we have had such peace. Nae has received beautiful blessings. John and I have had peace through prayers. We know that we love her and will do whatever we need to. We have such a great support system in our parents and siblings. We are sure that whatever happens is our Father's will. As a family unit, we are strong together. We can and will do what is required of us to help her. It is such a blessing that we have PCMC so close. What a wonderful hospital! What awesome and capable doctors and staff they have. We know what a valuable tool this is because of Danielle. Such Blessings!
