A Day of Reflection

Many people feel like God and Science do not mix. If you ask me, they can go hand in hand. I believe that if it weren't for God, we wouldn't have the advances in science that exist today. He gave us gifted individuals with extraordinary minds and guided them to discoveries that would not have been made otherwise. I am so grateful for the modern medicine that exists today and the hand of God in bringing it to us.

One year ago today was the day that a microscopic structure called a blastocyst was placed inside my uterus. Previous to that day it had grown for 6 days, and was then frozen for almost 2 years. It took only a few hours to thaw and become viable. Not all embryos survive to 6 days. Then, not all embryos survive being thawed. Then, not all of them survive once placed in the womb. Then, not all of them grow to full term. I had two of them placed and one survived. We now call him James.
