And Still - we will pray, trust, and believe

We met with our DR today, the amino came back showing an extra chromosome 13, Trisomy 13. Aaron and I have not done any reasearch regarding this - so we really cannot answer questions. Purposly, we have stayed away from the internet. We will be meeting with genetic professionals in the future.
From the ultra sound, the DR stated the baby is unlikely to live outside the womb. That is from the DR, but I love the Lord with all my heart and trust that he will bring Aaron and I through this set back.
We simply ask for your continued prayers for our family - Aaron and I ... and Jeremiah "Jeremy" Parker Shelby. Jeremy means Appointed by God

My Favorite Proverb and Psalm ...
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Psalm 27:14

GRACE AND PEACE!

Trisomy 13 Life with Natalia ~ Transformed by Love said...: "Oh Please don't stay away from the internet." Thats where you'll meet other families who also know this trisomy journey. We have a wonderful message board wheere you can ask any an all quesitons you may have from families who've been here.... http://www.livingwithtrisomy13.org

My hope for you is that you fully inform yourselves on the many aspects of this diagnosis. Then you can make a well informed decision for the care of your child.

There are many families who know your shock, emotions and although your specific situation may be a bit different, we all share the journey of being told our child will not survive...

Please take he time to view the beautiful living children http://www.livingwithtrisomy13.org/trisomy-13.htm and also the Treasured Memory pages.

Responding to a Whisper

Aaron & I are excited to announce that our family has expanded! We have been blessed to adopt a baby. (From the Indianapolis Area) The Lord moved QUICK, we brought our son home from the hospital April 1, 2011. And the fund-raising continues! It is our desire to help support others planning to adopt and various missions.

To use my passion to create,we continue to sell a special Double Blessing Bracelet, 2 for 15$. Each bracelet will be made using loose beads from BeadforLife, which supports women in Uganda.

We will be selling these online, word of mouth, and local shops. We have added a BUY NOW button so you can purchase from this site.

Also, we have added a button to collect donations, if you feel called in that manor. Please click the DONATE button. Or send an email and we can provide an address to mail a check.

Finally, please pray!

TRI-BE

TRI BE
Battle. Breathe. Believe.

Across the globe, there's a forgotten and lost tribe of people. They're the children and families of children who have Trisomy 13 and 18. Their children have been given a death sentence. This tribe is hurt and mostly alone, waking up to face death and the fear of death.

For those in this tribe, they learn not to live in the past or the future, but in the now. They learn how to be. They must be. Their motto can be summed up in 3 "B" words: (tri be). Battle. Breathe. Believe

Battle - against pain, fear, death, against the very cells in a body. Against anger. Against ignorance.

Breathe - trisomy babies are supposed to forget how to breathe and die. As a parent, yo never take a breath for granted. And as a parent, you learn to just breathe. You keep thinking you can do something - you can't. I fact, you can do nothing. So, as Robbie Seay the singer says : breathe out and breathe again / know that life is hard, but it's worth breathing.

Believe - is all we can do and the best we can do. Believe that life is precious. Believe that today is a gift. Believe that there is eternal life for the redeemed. Believe that I have a Savior friend who will see me through this. Believe that there is strength in Him.
