Joy, Relief and Gratitude

by 159 Comments

I am crying tears of joy, relief and extreme gratitude.

The results from Chase’s follow up blood work came in this morning and they were exactly what we were hoping for – He is fine. He will be fine. We will do some follow up testing in November to continue to monitor our brave baby boy but I know in my heart he will be fine. I am so grateful.

Chase 10 Months Old

Thank YOU for your kindness, your thoughts and your prayers. They worked and I cannot stop the tears. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart. I felt your love and it touched me more than you can possibly know.

    Such happy news! I’ve been reading your blog for about 5 years and this news put a smile on my face 🙂 I’m expecting my first baby (a boy!) in approx 5 weeks. What a rough weekend you must have endured waiting on the news. My heart goes out to you!

    I’m not a mom but I can only imagine the anxiety that waiting on news like this could cause. Me? Okay. But when it’s your child, it’s different. I am so happy to hear that everything looks fine with Chase’s test results and hope you can breathe easily again. I feel like no one ever talks about just how SCARY it is to have a kid!

    I am so happy to hear the good news! I don’t normally comment but I have been reading your blog for years. I have a little boy that is almost the same age as Chase. The wait for our kids always seems to be unbearable. I just knew the news would be only good!

    Again, so happy to hear this. One thing I was thinking about yesterday — when I’m nervous about something health-related, I find comfort in the knowledge that, by definition, the common/benign thing is more likely to be the case than the rare/scary thing. I’m so glad that was the case with your sweet boy.

    Julie – you are such an inspiration! The way you talk about Chase is beyond moving. You are such a warm, and wonderful person and mother. You make me want to be a better person! I am so glad Chase is fine. 🙂

    I am so happy for your family right now. I have enjoyed so much the glimpse into your family life that you have allowed us, I jokingly call you my friend when I talk about something you’ve featured on your blog. This makes my day. Hug that baby!!

    So happy to hear that the results came back well. The comment that you made in your last post about envisioning the phone call to be positive says so much about your character; lnowing in your motherly intuition, everything will be okay.

    Wonderful news. Sending you all the positive vibes
