Alaina's appointment with the Geneticist

Alaina had an appointment with a Geneticist yesterday. He was truly amazed at how healthy she is. Alaina just loved him! She was smiling at him and talking up a storm. She is developing perfectly on track. I learned that Situs Ambiguous with asplenia, which is characterized by ambiguous location of the abdominal organs and absence of the spleen results in affected patients having a 99%–100% prevalence of congenital heart disease. Alaina has a perfectly healthy heart. The Geneticist actually said that she is a miracle! I am sure that is a pretty uncommon statement from a man of science.
I was thinking in the car on the way to work this morning, that not long ago I was just devastated hearing about all that was wrong with my baby and here she is 5 months old and perfectly healthy. I never expected this. I could not be more happy!
