For some reason I've had a hard time wanting to write this update, even though its good news. I guess part of me doesn't even want to think that a doctor can look at my child and assume my baby has "problems" by the way she looks. She IS beautiful, by the way... Here are some pics of her:

Cosette pics

Cosette 1 month

I took some cute pics of Cosette at 2 months but gotta get them off of my camera and all that jazz so stay tuned...

Anyway, here's the story. We went to the Neurologist to have him look at the MRI that was done on Cosette when she was only a few days old.

When we went in for the appt, we found out that the pediatrician sent all of the documents EXCEPT for the MRI.

Awesome.

After inspecting Cosette he told us "Well, we know that they ruled out Downs syndrome and without looking at the MRI I would say she obviously has some kind of chromosomal disorder so I think we should send her to genetics and get some blood work done to find out what it is."

Its funny how differently Lance and I handled that news.

Lance said "Doctors do not have authority of Cosette, God does. And I trust God. I'm not going to worry about it!"

I, on the other hand, took our baby. Locked myself in our bedroom. Sat on in the rocking chair and cried my eyes out and prayed over her all evening.

Well, it took almost 2 weeks to get a copy of the MRI to the Neurologist and to have him look at it. He gave me a call and said "the fluid on her brain is just a cyst. It should go away on its own and I don't expect it to cause any problems with her. It would be good to keep an eye on it that it doesn't grow... otherwise, I would say she is perfectly healthy!!"

PRAISE GOD PRAISE GOD PRAISE GOD!!!!!

I am SO looking forward to the big things God has in story for her!

I have to admit, although I was extremely thankful for that good news... I REALLY REALLY wanted to punch that doctor for making me worry. Ah well... its all over now. :-)
