We got the initial results from Clara's genetic test. The great news is there were no major issues found! Nothing really stood out at all.
There was one gene that was looked at that has a variance...indicating it is not "normal." In fact, Emory Genetics has never seen it before.
What that means to Julie and Adam is that God made Clara Faith one of a kind and broke the mold. We knew that already. :)
So, what will happen now is that they will submit the results to the genetics database that houses all of the genetics information as it is studied. They will compare genes that might be similar and see if they can make a conclusion that way. Her results are also going to be passed onto her neurologist and studied there as well.
Thank you all for the prayers through all of this!
Clara Faith was diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism when she was 4 months old. She is one of the most joyful people you will ever meet. However, due to that condition, she has been delayed in her development and has numerous medical conditions. This blog shares her story.

Welcome to Clara's New Site
Hey everyone. We have a new site. This has been what we have wanted to do all along. The new clarafaith.com will be her site from now on. We will post her updates, pictures, videos and a few other exciting things to come here. All along, more than anything, we have always wanted to tell her story so that others will know, pray and raise awareness. We fully believe that God will use her story to reach all of you, and then in turn, you may save another child's life by telling them about Clara and her thyroid issues.
To update everyone on her fundraiser, we have moved it to GoFundMe.com. There is a link to the right on the main page. Her previous fundraiser site (YouCaring) was purchased by GoFundMe and was shutdown as of 7/31. We greatly thank everyone that has donated, prayed, and shared her story so far.
Please be sure to share her new blog and subscribe so you can get Clara's updates as they are posted. It will be worth it. She has lots of pictures, videos and stories to share with the world. We want as many people to know her story as possible. Thank you all for everything you do!
