Welcome to HOLLAND: "Some" results are in...

Why HOLLAND?

When you're going to have a baby, it's like planning a fabulous vacation to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum, The Michelangelo David, The Gondolas in Venice. You may lern some handy phrases in Italian, it's all very exciting.
After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The Stewardess comes in and says "Welcome to Holland."
"Holland?!?" you say. "What do you mean Holland?? I signed up for Italy! I'm supposed to be in Italy, all my life I've dreamed of going to Italy."
But there's been a change in flight plan. They've landed in Holland and there you must stay.
The important thing is that they haven't taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It's just a different place.
So you must go out and buy new guide books. And you must learna whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would have never met.
It's just a different place. It's slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you've been there for a while and you catch your breath you look around... and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills... and Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts.
But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy... and they're all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say "Yes, that's where I was supposed to go. That's what I had planned."
And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away... because the loss of that dream is a very, very significant loss. But... if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn't get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things... about HOLLAND.

"Some" results are in...

Almost EACH & EVERY prayer has been answered!!!

So far the test results are making us believe NO CYSTIC FIBROSIS! That's right... it's looking more and more like Jackee DOES NOT HAVE CF! The Doctor is NOT 100% positive just yet and he is still waiting on a few more results. At this point, IF Jack has it... it is a MILD case! The rest of the results won't be in til the end of the week but for now, we are CELEBRATING because this news is GREAT either way we look at it!

For now... I LOVE YOU ALL, I am so THANKFUL for the love and support you have shown us!

Lot's of Love, A very HOPEFUL Mom
