One out of ten

I've been trying to stay in order of events while catching you up on the past 12 years. But I felt the need to speak to the title of this blog, "one out of ten".

Once we decided to move forward with Dr Q's plan in doing the experimental procedure, he explained in full to us his mission and where we fit in. The state had approved funding for Dr Q to do 10 of his experimental procedures, and they were all to be completed within a year. Rebecca was to be baby #7 and baby #6 was a baby from across the country that had traveled all the way to FL to receive treatment. Up until now, the first 5 babies did not make it. One baby had survived the procedure and survived delivery but later died at 6 months old. Baby #6 was due in June and rebecca was due July. #6 survived the surgery and Dr Q was very hopeful that the baby would be his first true success. Sometimes The Lord giveth and sometimes The Lord taketh away. Unfortunately baby #6 didn't spend time here on earth, and is now with it's abba father. 

"I have not given you a spirit of fear..." 

Finding out about baby #6 was scary, but we knew that no matter what happened God was in control. We clung to our faith and As you know now, rebecca is alive and our miracle! 

Baby #8, #9 and #10 did not survive. 

Rebecca is the only 1 out of 10 babies alive today.
