So thankful!

We got Drayton's test results back this morning from Dr. Somers and as far as the test shows, he does not have cystic fibrosis!!!  He is a carrier of the gene, so if his future (very future) wife has the gene, they could possibly pass it on to their kids.  We are just so relieved and so thankful!  I have to admit, it was very hard not to worry when his poo smelled a little funny or he coughed, or anything else that was less than perfect. 

We are so thankful to our God.  He is so faithful and loving.  I know that even if he had CF, God still would have been faithful and loving and good would have come from it, but it is just always so nice when God answers our prayers the way we hope.  It is hard not to burst into thankful tears every time I look at him. 

When I was told the news that he could have it, I had to let my mind go down that path of "what if?"  It is a relief to be able to put those "what ifs" away and not have to entrust them to God anymore. 

Drayton will still go to the CF clinic in Tyler on March 16, to take another type of test to 100% rule it out.  But basically, if they did the test correctly and didn't make a mistake, he can't have it.  So please rejoice with us and thank God for this wonderful gift!
