Thank you

I have had a lot of scary and sad things happen to me in my life. Things like my husband deploying over seas and not knowing when he is coming back or where he is going. Horse accidents up the wazoo! But nothing could prepare me for what we were about to hear last Tuesday. I had a sonogram last Friday and they called to tell us that there was fluid around the baby's heart and kidneys and a cyst in her brain and that we would need to go to Iowa City to have a sonogram done with a specialist. By the time the nurse in Dubuque was finishing the last part of the phone call I was in shock and I had her talk to Ben to give him directions to the hospital in Iowa City. So on Tuesday evening we made the trip to Iowa City and stayed over night which turned out to be the longest of my life ( I would rather be in labor for 36hours again). The next morning we went to the hospital and they talked to us about what could be wrong with her and told us things like she might not live. Then we go in and have to sonogram and the doctor tells us that he doesn't find anything wrong with her heart, kidneys or brain and that she looks normal. I have never wanted to kiss another man so bad in all my life. I know that this is a lot of information but the outcome is that she is doing great and already putting her daddy through the ringer just like only my daughter would, but Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and souls for all of your prayers.
God bless
Ben, Janielle, David and Lillian Grace Fulton
