No More Choroid Plexus Cysts
I will just get right to the point... the specialist today determined that OUR BABY IS PERFECTLY NORMAL and they didn't find any choroid plexus cysts on our baby's brain! We can't begin to tell everyone how thankful we are to God and to everyone that prayed and thought of us during this time. Everyone that has prayed and taken time to write personal e-mails as well as send us cards and letters in the mail has been a tremendous source of inspiration and encouragement to both Julie and me. We cannot thank you enough and we both don't know how we would have ever made it through this stressful time without you!
Up until today I was doing fine with the whole thing. Then when we got to Topeka and started looking for a place to eat, I kind of broke down over the stress of trying to find a place to eat because neither of us could decide. I think this breakdown was due to the fact that it finally hit me that this was the final moment when we were going to find out if the cysts had left our baby our not.
I've always been the kind of person that wants to wait until the last possible moment to open my gift on Christmas; that way what's inside the package can still be whatever I want it to be - from the car keys to a new sports car to the fastest computer the world has ever known. When the time comes to open it that's when there is the realization that what I've been hoping for could in fact be something else and I'm faced with the fact the time for hoping and dreaming is over and that it's time for reality, whatever that might be. I've had faith this entire time that God would choose to take away the baby's cysts, but today the time was here that I was about to face whatever reality awaited for us and it's in that time when that little bit of doubt comes seeping in. Before today I had even come to terms with the fact that even if the cysts weren't gone, I would be totally okay with it because I knew God would have a plan to use our baby and family in great and tremendous ways. I know that God always answers our prayers even though sometimes He doesn't always answer them the way we want Him to. I'm just so thankful beyond belief that God chose to bless us by taking away the baby's cysts! I don't really know now why God allowed us to go through this stress but I know that it will be to His glory!
Again thank you to everyone that prayed and sent personal letters and words of encouragement. May God in turn bless you!

I'm gald to see that things are looking good for you all.
I am so excited for both of you! I know that you have overcome this major hurdle, and can't wait for your little angel to arrive! God Bless!
I am so happy! Thanks for your witness and for making those who care a part of all of this. I feel so blessed to have a son and daughter who love God and have a relationship with Him through Jesus. I'm thankful that you made us a part of this pregnancy across the miles. My prayers are still with you. Love You!
Praise God!!! Thanks for keeping God at the center of your struggle and the rest of us informed! You'll be great parents; never forget you're only stewards of God's precious child!
Brent & Julie,
I just now read your comments and I just want you to know how much you two add to our lives in the way you have handled not only this stressful time, but the entire pregnancy. We have been blessed by being a part of asking God for his help and now with His answer the blessing's are double good. Thanks for sharing your struggle with us. We feel fortunate to have friends so open to God's plan.

This is such good news! I knew God would bring you through this ok. He is God!!! May He bless you as the baby grows these next two months. He is cute already!
I conveyed your situation to my mom's prayer chain, so there was quite an army of people praying for the O'Connor clan in addition to all of your family and friends. Glad that turned out as well as it did, Brent. We are constantly showered by His blessings. Each breath we take could be considered a miracle. Whenever I see a sunrise, or whenever such good news as this comes my way, or even when things seem to go terribly wrong in our limited spatial and temporal view, I always think of my favorite doxology. "Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye Heavenly Host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost." It has such a nice melody too. I actually like to sing this one. Take care, and God bless you & yours, my friend.
It's really good to hear that everything is fine with your baby. We are going through that stress right now and wont find out for another 3 weeks if our baby cysts have gone away. Its a very hard time for us now since we lost one of our babies 3 years ago. I am very happy for you and especially your baby that he will be a healthy baby
To Angela -- No matter what happens, just love on that little baby! We hope everything turns out for the best. May God comfort you and give you strength through this difficult time. Thanks for writing to us!
