Leah's test results...

We have been waiting for the test results for almost a week, and it was driving us crazy! I feel so bad for people who have to wait longer for their test results. Well last night we were at the gateway to get some ice cream and walk around downtown Salt lake. Right when we got up to Ben and Jerry's, I heard my phone ring. But it was buried in the diaper bag, so I missed the call. I didn't know the number bit they left a message. It was Leah's doctor, Dr. miles calling with Leah's test results....

She does not have Cystic Fibrosis!!! To say we're so thrilled is the understatment the end all understatements! She will, however she will most likely have to have her adnoids removed. But I'll take that over CF any day. It has really put everything into perspective and I have so much respect for family's who care for children who have a serious illness or special needs. Even though they may not see themselves as doing anything special, they are. It takes a special person to care for a special child. I have a few friends who have members of their family with serious illnesses or special needs, and they are the most amazing self less, dedicated people I've ever been blessed to know. They have taught me so much throughout the years.

Thank you to everyone who has had us in their thoughts and prayers. To the friends and family that have called us every single day to ask us if we knew the test results yet or just to comfort us. My family would do anything for Leah, and they have done so much. It truly means so much to us to know that we are loved.
Heavenly father has truly blessed us again.

I am so happy that everything turned out well. Ty had his tonsils and adnoids out between 18 months and 2 years, thry seem to bounce back quicker when they're young. Dr Aoki did mine and Ty's he's great. He was in the Dr suites right there at Pioneer.
