A Blessing in Disguise

Maybe Jessie’s bus accident was a blessing in disguise. After much wavering back and forth, she had finally decided to go in for an amniocentesis today. But because she now has a strained back, she was forced to cancel the appointment. 

I’ve been trying to convince her for awhile now that doing the test isn’t necessary. Sure, we’ll know for certain if our baby is healthy or not, but what happens if the amniocentesis causes her to miscarry? Would the test have been worth it then? I’m not one to take that gamble.  

After having her plans thwarted, I was able to talk to her some more and finally convince her not to do the test later on. And hopefully this time around, she’ll stick with this decision. We need to have faith that everything will turn out OK.
