Baby Xander

[paula1961]

Please say prayers for my new grandson Xander. He has been tested for downs syndrome. They won't know for about two weeks. Seems like a long time for test results to me but that's what the dr told my son and his wife. She was tested for this while she was pregnant and the test came back negative but because of some of his features, he was tested. I pray that it is negative but his Mom told me that she saw it in him when they handed him to her after his birth. He is such a precious "gift from Heaven". I appreciate your prayers and I will keep you updated.

Sending positive energy and thoughts.

My baby sisters test came positive and when she was born she had some traits but not all. But she's a normal kid a little slow but that runs in the family :rolleyes: I do hope they don't find that extra chromosome.

Either way I'm sure that baby will give your family lots of love.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this Paula. I hope the test comes back negative and even if it is positive, Jessica's message is encouraging.

Keeping little Xander in my prayers. I'm with Jessica...either way....what a blessing!

[paula1961]

Thanks girls and yes Jessica's reply is very encouraging! And he is such a blessing to our family! Either way...that little guy is loved so very much!

I'm sorry to hear this........it's just another thing to worry about. Two weeks does seem like a long time to wait for the test.

My grandmother's youngest sister had Down's Syndrome and I remember her being such a sweet and gentle person. No matter what you find out this baby will have lots of love and support!!! You'll all be in my prayers.

Thank you Diana. I don't see why it takes that long to get back the results. But then I don't have any idea how they determine the results. No matter the outcome...he will be surrounded by lots of love.

Keeping this precious baby in prayer.

Prayers for Baby Xander and all of you who love him.

I had an older cousin with Down's and I loved her so much! She was so sweet and loving. I was younger than her, and used to get so excited when we went to visit her family. I also have a friend with a little girl with Down's Syndrome. Her Mom home schools her kids, and it is a lot of work to meet her special needs, but Lori considers her to be such a gift! The little one also has a great sense of humor!

Either way, Baby Xander is a blessing!

[gja1000]

I'm thinking Zanders test came back negative??? I sure hope so.

[Janet]

I've been waiting to hear the results too. Also waiting on the pictures of this precious child.

[DianaB]

I've been waiting too. Paula, you need to let us know what the results of Xander's test were!!

[paula1961]

Sorry I haven't updated but I honestly haven't got any news yet about the tests. My son and his wife are not talking about it much. They say that it doesn't matter if he has it or not which is true but I think they should have the tests done to be sure. If any of you have seen his pix on fb, I think you know the answer.

He is very special! A beautiful blessing! Love him so very much!:)

[judy]

I can't tell from the pictures, but I can tel that you are a wonderful Grandma! He is adorable!

[DianaB]

I've looked but I haven't noticed anything on Xander's pictures. He has looked like a baby you see everyday!! Hopefully he'll have a really mild case. Fingers are crossed and still praying!! Hugs!!!

[paula1961]

Yay!! I am keeping him Friday night! He is an angel! I will take lots of pix..i promise!

[DianaB]

Oh....good!!!!! You'll have so much fun!!!!!

[Janet]

I saw him on FB and didn't see anything but a beautiful baby boy! I just know you're going to enjoy your time with him.

[JJJ]

Yay!! I am keeping him Friday night! He is an angel! I will take lots of pix..i promise!

Please do post pics I would love to see this beautiful boy. He is so lucky to have such a wonderful family.

[paula1961]

I was blessed to have him for 4 days! Blood test results came back today and they were positive for downs but no biggie....now he needs an ultra sound of his heart and alot of other tests... it's all just fine. He is one sweet baby! God decided to drop a gift! Sooo special!:)

[gja1000]

You are such a wonderful person, Paula. You are right, baby Zander is a gift in so many ways. He will teach everyone so many important lessons and you will wonder what you ever did without him!

[JJJ]

His a positively cutie for sure.

[judy]

You are a wonderful Grandma Paula, and will have a great bond with him. Put up some pix please!

[DianaB]

It doesn't matter........Xander is one sweet boy and surrounded by people who love him and will do their best for him!!!! I can tell that he's very loved!!! And he has one sweet Grandma!!!!

Paula, hugs to you for your attitude!!!! I'm sure he is beautiful from all the comments. I don't know your full name, or I'd add you on FB. Perhaps I can look at others friends lists and find you that way will try and hopefully send you a request.
