Elijah's Poop Deck

Last Wednesday we received a call from our pediatrician, she told us that we would be contacted by Shands(the hospital Elijah was born at)and there was a possibility that Elijah had Cystic Fibrosis. We met with a group of specialist, a week ago today, and were scheduled to have a "sweat" test done. (A sweat test measures the content of salt in the persons sweat. CF patients have a higher content of salt in their sweat) Within about an hour of meeting with a gene specialists we were told that Elijah had Cystic Fibrosis.
Leann and I were both carriers of the gene and it turns out if both parents are carriers, there will be a 1 in 4 chance that their child will be born with CF. We were both completely astonished by the news we received and like any parents it saddened us to know that our baby boy was sick. Elijah actually has two forms of CF genes, however the doctors informed us that neither were too bad of a case. One is a mild case and the other is slightly higher.
After the initial shock of the news, we came to the conclusion that we're not about to let this get us down. We both agreed that this is in God's hands and whatever the outcome is, it's in his control. The doctors reassured us that Elijah will be able to do most things any other child can do and should grow old as any other person would. There will be certain treatments, medication, and exercises he may have to do, but he will always be our blessing from God.
