Well he made a video of it so it must be true! 10 years is a long time, but if he maintained his work ethic he'll be all right.

Appreciate the words, they were very tough times. But obviously things are hopeful. Yes, if I can't do everything in my power to crush 2019 than nothing ever will

Yeah it sucks, but it's an inevitable occurrence with the syndrome. Our next visit with the doctor is January 8th which is another big day, so hopefully it hasn't gotten bigger. Eventually, she will have to go in for open heart surgery once the aorta passes that threshhold

Thanks man, she tells me the same thing and vice versa to me. It's a big help to have someone support me through what has been an absolutely roller coaster of a year.

The DNA thing is whatever, the way you raise a child is what makes you a parent and it's way more relevant than the genetics in how he/she will be when he/she grows up. It's all about the values you teach the child.
Also since your gf's condition is genetic, it gives you more incentive to adopt a kid anyways, what if your kid is born with the same condition?
Gl, man!
We have started the beginning process of surrogacy getting to the in vitro stage. I've gotten a few tests on me and my swimmers and her on her DNA and we got approved past the first step. Once we get engaged we'll move on to the next step of in vitro.
Everybody is different, and I have no doubt if adoption was our only option we would take it, but for both of us having a child with our DNA was important to us that we're willing to spend
that amount of money for it, it's tough to put into words. Obviously agree with you on teaching values to the child.
As far as genetics, science is pretty crazy today and we can remove the genetic marker of Marfan's from the embryo's created; albeit it's more expensive. That's all we plan on changing, we'll leave the rest to the man upstairs.

Thanks for having my back. For future use, be a little bit more mindful Rapi, that being said it doesn't bother me and I know you mean well.
