From Jolene and Hank

Thank you to everyone who has prayed, loved and supported us as we waited for the ultrasound today. Unfortunately God has chosen to take this little one home to him when the time comes. The baby for sure has Meckel Gruber and will not make it much past delivery. This is so hard. Please continue to pray for us as we walk through this valley all over again... And we continue to pray for healing for our little one

Oh Verna. I just got your message on Will's blog and came straight over to your blog.
I am so desperately sorry to hear the news about Jolene's baby. I wish I had words to offer comfort, but I don't - even though we know the recurrence risk, it is human nature to feel that surely things must be ok this time round. It just feels so unfair. I am so sad for Jo and Hank - I understand so well what they must be feeling - all the hopes and dreams, suddenly snatched away.
And it's so hard for you as Jolene's mum to have to watch your little girl go through this again.
Please know that we will be keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers over the days, weeks and months to come. I will call my mum now, and I know she will be praying too. Please give Jolene my love and tell her I am here if she (or you) need to talk. You can email me from Charlie's blog if you like (http://charlieturner.blogspot.com)
I will be watching for updates.
With my love and support, Alison xxx

Hi again Verna. Sorry to leave another comment, but I couldn't find your email address. I just wanted to say I haven't been able to stop thinking about Jolene and Hank, and you too. You have all been in my thoughts and prayers so very much. I hope you are all holding up as you walk this difficult road together once again. Sending love and support from across the pond, Alison xxx
