I'm gonna be an Uncle :)

My Sister has a condition called Cardiogenic-syncope. It is pretty rare, but it is very tough for her. Essentially she is prone to blacking out and dizzy spells when she is surprised in the slightest, or if she gets up too fast. She is 26 years old and can't drive (never has) and we thought she couldn't get pregnant. She's been married for 3 years, and we just found out in February that she is pregnant! Woohoo! We thought she couldn't in her particular case, but she did! Also, in about 50% of the cases, the symptoms disappear after a successful pregnancy, so we're praying that she can lead a normal life again after this (even if it isn't normal...with a newborn baby, haha).



I'M SO PUMPED TO BE AN UNCLE!
