March 24, 2020 at 5:43 amDear DAB Family, I will be 20 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I had a doctor’s appointment with my MFM (maternal fetal medicine) high risk doctor today. We found out that little Connor Joseph is only half the size he should be. He’s not growing as he should. He’s around 200 grams. He also has two structural issues with his boy parts and his bowels. Which is of least concern, as they can be corrected via surgery after birth. The main concern is that he’s not growing well and it could be genetic issues or the placenta not doing its job. I had an unscheduled surgical procedure today: an amniocentesis. They put a needle through my belly, into my uterus to pull out amniotic fluid. They will test for genetic issues, infections, check the fetal alpha protein and other things. If all comes back as good, then we know it’s purely a placental issue. The doctor is hoping to at least get him to 24-26 weeks worth of weight (500 grams) and possibly induce that early. Then have a NICU take over to give him a fighting chance. At that age, he would have a 50/50 chance of survival with “100% chance of a life long complication(s)”. Please join us in prayer. He is our miracle baby, as we didn’t think we could get pregnant. We trust God and know this didn’t take Him by surprise. He is in control and we’re going to take things one day, one moment at a time. Thank you so, so much.

March 24, 2020 at 11:45 amYes Lord, today we pray for baby Conner to grow and develop normally in utero. Help him catch up with his weight. Lord, we pray that You help him remain in mama longer, closer to 40 weeks, in order for him to have the best opportunity of survival, and to thrive. We thank You so very much for his life, and we acknowledge it is given by You. Blessings, gail

March 25, 2020 at 12:02 pmToday Father, I am reminded of Balaam who was asked to curse the people of Israel, but he couldn’t do it because of You. We pray that all the medical staff only be able to speak blessings on this baby in utero. We pray for his continued growth and health.
Sister – Our God is able. Trust Him. When I was pregnant with each of our sons, I was told that they would have Down Syndrom because their head sizes were out of the normal range. We chose to not abort them. Yes, their heads were larger proportionally than their body when they were born. Eventually, their body caught up. Neither has Down Syndrom. Both have very quick and able minds. Trust what God is saying to You. He has the last word over any doctor. Blessings, gail

March 31, 2020 at 6:32 amThank you all so much for your kind words of encouragement and your heartfelt prayers. I have an update as of 3-30-20 on little Connor Joseph. We received news this morning that the alpha fetal protein came back normal. Which means no spina bifida. However, the doctor called us later this evening and hit us with a Mac truck. Little Connor Joseph has a very rare genetic disorder called Mosaic Trisomy 16. His cells are mixed up of normal and abnormal cells. All the symptoms from last week’s scan fit the MT16 disorder. Because it’s so rare… There’s very little data and case studies to go off of. The outcomes have been highly variable in the few case studies the doctor was able to find. He could be born fine and just need surgical fixes for the two structural issues. Or it’s also possible for a spontaneous miscarriage or fetal demise before delivery. Disease definition: Mosaic trisomy 16 is a rare chromosomal anomaly syndrome with a highly variable phenotype ranging from minor anomalies with normal development to intrauterine growth retardation, abnormal skin pigmentation, craniofacial and body asymmetry, cardiac (e.g. ventricular septal defect) and genital (e.g. hypospadias, cryptorchidism) anomalies, scoliosis and hearing loss to neonatal death. Additional features observed include skeletal malformations (e.g. clino/polydactyly, talipes), mild facial dysmorphism, and developmental delay. By the grace of God we have made it this far. Please join us in prayer. He is our miracle baby, as we didn’t think we could get pregnant. We trust God and know this didn’t take Him by surprise. He is in control and we’re going to take things one day, one moment at a time. Many heart felt thanks. ❤️ Robert and Jennifer
