peace of mind

Final lab results indicate that Matt is CMV-free. But for any of you who are pregnant or are thinking about becoming pregnant, good hygiene is always a must. While 50-80% of us have already had the virus and therefore cannot be infected again, women who have not yet been infected are at risk of transmitting the virus to their fetus if infected for the first time during pregnancy. This virus is not transmitted through casual contact; Isolation of infected persons is therefore not warranted. We are not physicians providing diagnostic or other professional services. If you have any further questions regarding this virus please refer to the following website or contact your family physician. We hope this brings peace of mind to all those concerned.

  2. I continue to pray for sweet Matt and for you. May God continue to give you the strength and grace to care for His miracle baby boy. He is so special to God, to you and to me.

    Love and Hugs, Laurie

  3. I am thankful to now have this blog and follow the difficult path "r" and "s" are traveling with Matt. Communication leads to understanding. God bless all of you who have shown goodness and kindness to the family. Thanks, Amy, for the beautiful photos and starting the blog.
