Is your baby Safe

Did you know that there are 54 treatable disease that a new born can have but left untreated could kill!! I didn't till my hubby sent this link about Hunters Hope foundation here you can locate your state and see which ones they test for. If you are a fellow Utahian I can tell you exactly how this process works their test is called PKU and test for 37 the first test is done at the hospital and the second test is done at your child's wellness check which is either one-two weeks after birth. They prick the heel and squeeze babies blood onto a sheet with several circles on it the nurse then tells you if you don't hear any thing from the state of Utah your ok .. well a little letter saying you passed would probably be ideal but at least they are one of two states that test the most dieases.. but the hope of this foundation is to make every state test for all of them not to much to ask when a child's life is at risk right. I plan on writing a letter to the state and supporting Hunters Hope Fondation for the rest of my mother hood life won't you join the quest in saving or babies life's
