The Waiting Game

The next major milestone in our lives is getting the post-mortem results. These will have a large and potentially challenging effect on how we will proceed with starting a family again. Whilst Clare was at the hospital this week having physio on her knee, she asked to see the paediatrician who treated Theo. He very obligingly took time out to see her but it looks like we might have to wait slightly longer than we envisaged.

Originally, we were told the post-mortem would take 4 - 6 weeks and that time is almost up. The doctor has said that, because of the genetic testing, we may have to wait a further month before we hear anything.

This is a little disheartening, but we trust in God's plan and that his timing is best. As soon as we know anything, we will definitely post here.

On a much more lovely note, Clare decided she would ring Tonya on Knoah's birthday yesterday. Tonya was most surprised to hear from us! We could hear Knoah gurgling happily away in the background while we both chatted to Tonya. She is every bit as lovely and caring in person as she is on her blog and it certainly made our evening.

During the phone call, Tonya commented on how amazing the human spirit is amongst the small group of people we know that share the same kind of experiences. I am so pleased that, despite not having our own little person, the bond with the people we have met is not growing weaker, but deepening.
