update on Riley - thank you human genome project!

Just wanted to update ya’ll with this email from Becca today about Riley. A Major thing today happened with our favorite baby girl in the world. as always, you can keep up with them for more details on their blog….. -big John

—————————————————————————–

While in the hospital today with Riley her genetisis came to see us . . . He said that they did a full genetic maping of Riley’s DNA where they looked at her full genetic code and SHE HAS NO ABNORMALITIES!!!!!!! She does not have SMA, she does NOT have ANY genetic disorders!!!! Her DNA is perfect!!!!! She does not have a degenerative disease!!! He said that their best guess is that something happened while she was in the womb that did cause some nuerological damage but she will not continue to get worse - there is actually hope for her to get better! More details and stuff of course are still coming in but we just found out and I had to tell all of you so that we can send big praises up! She is still sick and still dealing with everything we were dealing with yesterday but HOPE has come back on the scene! GOD is so increadible!!!!!!!!!!! I love you all and will update more soon when I am more clear headed and not freaking out because I am so pumped at how awesome our GOD is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE,

Becca

I’ll join you all in praying for Riley! And praising God for the science that can provide peace of mind.

Did you hear the guy from Q (I can’t remember his name right now… ;) who worked on the Human Genome project? I didn’t agree with everything he said, but it was interesting.

Dr. Francis Collins…I met him and have been meaning to catch his book sometime. I’ve heard him a couple of times on NPR debating Richard Dawkins. which has been enjoyable. Yeah! awesome day…thanks so much for the prayers.

So happy to hear some good news! I just read about Riley a little while ago. I will continue to pray. God is good and gracious.
