Lots of News

I have only just realised how long it has been since I posted, and now that I am... there aare 2 important pieces of news to report!



First and foremost, we have been told of Jasper's complementation group with Fanconi Anemia. He is what they call FANC-I. It is one of the rarer groups, and we join our friend Wesley as an "I" group member.



We are not sure what it means yet, and not sure if anyone else really does either, but at least we know now... we were going to use if for IVF/PGD... which brings me to our next news...



We are having a baby!!!

The day after we found out that Jasper was FANC-I, I discovered I was pregnant. It is very exciting and scary at the same time. We have a 25% chance of another FA baby, so there is testing etc to be done.

I will keep this site updated as details come to hand...



The funny thing is that the baby was conceived at Camp Sunshine in America this year... Gives a whole new meaning to the "Go Camp Sunshine" chant we do!!!



The baby is due at the end of April, so we are hoping for a cord blood match for Jasper that we can store for if and when we need it!



I think I will leave the news there for now.. they are the 2 most important things that we wanted to share.



Thank for reading!!



Love

Brooke, Paul and Jasper
