Please Pray for Our Baby Girl ...

Hey Everyone! I got a letter in the mail today from the Department of Pediatrics at UK. They did a metabolic screening on Kaleigh before she was discharged from the newborn nursery and they found that her TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) levels were elevated. There are many reasons why newborns have elevated levels. In Kaleigh's case, most likely it could be due to her low Apgar score and breathing difficulties at birth. I have also read that the levels could be off because the test could have been conducted too early causing a false result (which is what were hoping for). I am taking her to have blood work tomorrow morning. They say the test is simple, a small pin prick in her foot. I am asking all of you to please pray for a healthy test result for our baby girl. I'm so nervous and worried for her and I need help from all of you. I will update you as soon as we get the results. Love you all !!!
