not the test results I was hoping for... 😞 

Absolutely sending prayers for you and your family. I'm 70yrs old and dealing with high blood pressure, arrhythmia and high cholesterol. Saying that to say diet, exercise and keeping weight down are truly natural remedies that work better than medications. If I deviate, my blood pressure goes to stroke level. When I maintain, I don't even have to take the medicines. With you being so young and starting good habits, I feel confident you'll be okay for many decades to come.❤️

I love Ruben with his dinosaurs! He reminds me so much of my son at that age. My son is now finishing his undergraduate degree in Paleontology.

Sorry for the genetic test results. I've heard one doctor say, " Genetics loads the gun but diet and lifestyle pulls the trigger." At least now you're aware and can make adjustments for you and your kids, as well. I had to make changes like this 8 years ago and I'm doing very well, so far, at 66. . I wish you all the best. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas. Love Emma's little tree. She's so cute! She looks like my own red headed girl when she was that age. She's in her 30s now with red heads of her own. Enjoy these first years, they pass fast.

Sending prayers your way. So glad you now know that you're increased risk so you can hopefully discover some good preventative measures.

It's so amazing how fast that Emma is growing up!!

Emma really really suits the emerald green colour. Absolutely gorgeous. You can definitely see the Irish in her genes with that red hair too. Love it ❤

emma is getting so big. love her voice when she talks. she becoming her own person. love how she asked to have a xmas tree in her room. and love the orniments she picked out. faye is also getting so big, she looking like emma more. wow, the boys sure knoe their dinasours. their so smart. they are talking more now. so cute.

I had genetic testing for brca1 gene which came back positive and it's always good to know to be proactive and keep up on all you can do to help prevent ..knowledge is power :)

Emma’s hair gets more and more beautiful everyday💜 I love how well the boys can identify the dinosaurs!

I so agree, Emma is such a beautiful little girl with glorious hair, she shines like a star. The boys are so good with their speech & getting little characters adorable. Racheal you are a super mum so much patience with your lovely family 💕

Asher and his 5 syllable Dino word wow!! Beautiful tree Emma!!!

I really hope your health gets better Emma's getting really beautiful I love seeing your kids

Nothing more beautiful than Emma’s hair in the sunlight. ❤

Prayers to you and your family. I'm a heart/brain patient and I found that eliminating red meat has helped me alot. Tyanna from Lexington Nebraska

My lp(a) is 141. It isn’t a gene in and of itself but a part of ldl cholesterol. There is very little dietary changes that can be done to change lp(a). I’m 30 and recently had a cardiac calcium ct just to see if I had any buildup because of my high lp(a) and genetic high cholesterol and it was 0 (which means no buildup). So just keep monitoring other things. There are new medicines in the works right now that I’m hopeful will get approved.

Ok that dog oh my goodness what a sweetie! Like that made my day seeing him hug u like that leaning on ur neck it’s just amazing animals are so amazing!

The yellow one is a parasaurolophus lol I only know because my daughter has been obsessed with dinosaurs for 2.5 years, therefore I know them all as well 😂

You were so smart to be proactive with this! Praying for you and your family.

Emma’s tree is so cute.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Sending prayers your way 🙏🙏❤️

Emma and the boys are so adorable. I’m sure you are happy you got the results of the testing now. ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

Not me running to target to get the same tree for my son 😂 that is so cute!!

Emma's hair is gorgeous!!🥰

My kids need to be tested for a heart condition next month. I’m a little stressed about it, I just had a defibrillator pacemaker monitor put in a week ago.

Sending prayers, love ,light and positive thoughts for you and your family, ❤️

Yay looks like your decorating for Christmas 🎄

The information is scary, but it is WAY better knowing than not knowing. You are able to be proactive now and prevent a lot of the issues before they progress to a heart attack/stroke.

I enjoy watching you and your beautiful family. Yes, I will pray for you concerning your test results. You and your children will be fine. You will be prayed for every day. God is good. Fear not. Have a wonderful Holiday Season!!

Keep close tabs of your blood pressure, watch diet even at your age and stay active!

I do understand it’s not the result you wanted but on the other hand it’s good you know now and I totally agree with your Mom 🙏🏼. Emma’s hair is looking so beautiful and the boys are as sweet as ever. Love the little tree 🎄 xxx

I always think, if you're going to have something making you higher risk, the best thing is to know about it. It could be that knowing about it makes you eligible for regular tests on your heart so that issues can be picked up as soon as they appear, but I hope you can get some information from the geneticist that helps you out. We have a heart issue that runs in my family and requires valve replacements, and it killed both my dad's parents since their doctors didn't pick it up in time, but since they knew about it my dad and his brother were able to get their valves replaced before they caused an issue since the doctors could keep an eye out for it, and now my siblings and I know to mention it to doctors as we get older! Knowledge is power!

Definitely will keep you and your family and extended family in my prayers. Love from the space coast of Florida 🌞⛱🌴🐬🦩

Just knowing you have the gene will help you be better prepared. My mom has BC and so does her sister. She tested negative for the genetic test but we still started mammograms early to be safe.

Your Mom is right... Advanced awareness can make prevention easier... Be careful not to overdose on Asparin/Advil/ Alieve which are all blood thinners because as I dud when I was 33 years old had a Ruptured Brain Anyersm & the Neurologist said if I had have been on Blood thinners I would have bled our before surgery could gave been done ... Hugs & Blessings Always... GBY ALL 🙏❤️💙💖💙💙💖🧸🐕🤗❤️

Your in my prayers 🙏Rachelle, hopefully Genetics can help. Love Emma’s little Christmas tree 🎄 so lovely in her bedroom. 💗🥰

My almost 4 year old has been singing that song all day! 😆 keeps telling me its "chicken wing chicken wing hot dogs macaroni" 😆😆

Awww pepper loves you so much! So cute

The Angel. You shouldve used putty or suchlike around the ring/stem. Let it go hard. Then paint it gold. Or silver even.

Please don’t take this wrong as all of your children are precious and adorable. Miss Emma is stunning. Her hair I would give anything to have. The older she gets the prettier she gets. Mom the boy’s need a tree too. Wishing you the best with your lab work and treatment. I am sure If you are diagnosed there is a wide range of things you can do. Lot’s of love and prayers your way.

Praying for you sweetie, God works in so many ways and this is a way he his is showing you his work. I know what you're feeling and it is very scary to think that this could be passed to your babies, I have factor v Leiden and have had 2 pulmonary embolisms after having my children, I was diagnosed with this disorder while I was pregnant with my 2cd daughter I was 22 at the time, my little sister has down syndrome and her obgyn had her put on birth control not knowing what had happened to me and of course she also had a pulmonary embolism and after running tests we found out she also has the same disorder as I do. Our other sister decided to run these tests also and found out she also has the gene and the doctors told her that it doesn't skip generations. I'm 37 now and I waited till my youngest was 10 to get the tests for my daughters done, they do have the gene however there's a low possibility for them to have any embolisms. It is scary to think our children could get sick however it is also better to know and to be prepared. Like your disorder mine is controlled by doctors and medicine don't be afraid as I said before God knows what he's doing and all of this has been detected before anything terrible happened. God bless you and I know it's easier said but don't be afraid everything will be okay and everyone is praying for you 🙏❤️

Usually if it is passed down from generation to generation then the younger generation is at a more DECREASED risk of whatever it is vs what your risks are

Both of my parents passed away from heart attack. My dad was 47 years old , mother was 50 years old . My dad’s brother 38 years old .

Hello, as the saying goes Prayers going 🙏 up & Blessings will come down. You have a beautiful family 👪.

Darling little dinosaurs you having living with you!😏. Emma’s tree is beautiful. I bet she’ll want to fall asleep with the lights on 👌🏻👍🏻❤️. The boys would love one in their room too 😁. Prayers coming your way. 🙏🏻🫶🏻

Prayers and Love 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️

Sending you love Rachelle!! ❤

I have a super rare disease that makes me at risk for stroke. I have to be on blood thinners including aspirin and plavix for life and I’m not that old. I already have significant artery damage sadly.

Happy Thanksgiving to your family. Hope it goes very well 🙏

Can post pregnacy hormones also mess with numbers with this gene?

You have a truly adorable family, your children are so sweet and you have raised your children to be such happy and loving sweet children ❤️

If this brings any comfort, just because you have a predisposition for a disease doesn’t mean you will have it. Lifestyle modification will play an enormous role. Make sure you are eating healthy and exercising. - from a pharmacogenomist.

The best thing you can do is eat an anti-inflammatory type diet. Avoid dairy, sugar, and things like that. Also most people have a mild allergy to yeast & egg that goes dismissed since it is only found on food sensitivity tests like immunolabs test, which creates inflammation in itself. Cholesterol is your body healing cells, so if it's higher it is doing it's job, it's when you pair it with inflammation that causes blockages in arteries since cholesterol gets built up in those strained swollen arteries. Reducing inflammation is the key. The Wellness Way has a ton of info on youtube and social media, they have clinics all over to get testing done through them & they can give you a good plan to reduce inflammation tailored to your body's unique needs. They are amazing, i lost 30lb after starting their guide, 10 of that was pure inflammation lost in the first 2 weeks of avoiding gluten/sugar & my food sensitivies. Crazy! I had heart issues my last 3 pregnancies and i started with them for my last baby and they were the only ones who got rid of the heart issues for my last pregnancy! Magnesium, potassium & real mineral sea salt are all necessary for heart function.

Emma your Christmas tree is beautiful ❤️🌲❤️

Happy holidays to the swannie family 🎄 Emma's hair is full of curls!!! Omg !!!

Praying for you . Hope you and your fam have a wonderful thanksgiving

You guys fixing the angel made.me.think of when the grinch makes the angel aha

It’s amazing what a little kids mind can do…the boys and all the dinosaur’s names! They’re so smart!

Praying for you Rachelle!!!🙏🏻💗

Knowing early on really helps getting it under control before it becomes an issue. We found we have a serious heart issues in our family from me having a heart attack at 22 and having to get a defibrillator/pacemaker.

🙏 prayers for you and the littles

Hope you get it all figured out soon

Your boys are just so cute!!!! omg

Praying going up!

Try Gorilla Glue I have used it for metal to metal and it is wonderful.

Oh my heart. She decorated her little tree with such care. She's to precious.🎅🎄❤🎅🎄❤

Sending love, now you know, you can make changes to keep yourself healthy and your kids too so yous can prevent it to the best of your ability, so sorry it wasnt the results you wanted but stleast you have the information now 🥰

I still have the tree from my son's room when he was Emma's age. He is now 54 years old.

Try hot clue on the Angel if not a piece of thread ut might work

Prayers for you & Family ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻

Well after hearing the results of your test i realize i should probably schedule an appointment to see my cardiologist im in heart failure, not related to that gene, it's not known for sure what causes it. Its hard when you aren't feeling the symptoms to think you should follow up once a year.

I don't know if someone already said this or if you read this but The Land Before Time. Great dino cartoon.

I am sorry to hear that... I am prayer for you

ROCHELLE DO YOU FOLLOW MISSY LANING FROM THE DAILY BUNCH

Awesome

Beautiful Tree Emma when did you become a tree designer your so good at that it’s completely beautiful. Love from Scotland UK.

My daughter who will be 29 in a couple weeks was the biggest Dino fan the new land before time movie would come out a couple of weeks before her birthday and 1 of her aunts would get it to bad I don't have them anymore them movies were the best babysitter I could get something done lol

Sending prays to ur and ur family 😊

Sending my love and prayers from Maryland ❤️

Sending prayers 🙏 ❤️. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers 🙏 ❤️. Love your videos!

Hey Rachelle Please don't give in to the fear. God is So much bigger, greater and mightier than any genetic testing.

Forewarned is forearmed. Better to find out now while you’re young and thin, and healthy. A baby aspirin daily is typically considered very safe unless you’re on blood thinners or you’re scheduled for a surgery or teeth extractions. And you don’t smoke, you’re a perfect weight, so I know those are two things that will increase the danger of having a heart attack or stroke. Definitely make going to the geneticist a priority in the new year. Just so this info is in your official medical record. Hopefully this will lead your physician to run tests and prescribe you medication before damage is done to your heart or brain or lungs. At 24 I think youth is 100% on your side. But I’m glad you got tested. And I hope your sissy takes it seriously and gets tested too. Take care. Omg the kids are so adorable. And that little tree is awesome for $20!!

The Dino u were unsure of looks like a Parasaurolophus!!:)

Use superglue. It will stick well with that.😊🌻

🙏🏻❤️

🙏 That you will find the best way forward, a big motivation to look at lifestyle ( I have become a big fan of 15 hour overnight fasting - makes such a difference to weight and wellbeing ), connect with people who have a good understanding, just watch out for new research but overall give your anxieties over to God and enjoy your life because its a beautiful one.

Look at how big Emma has gotten

I got that same tree from target when It was just me and my daughter living in a studio and she was about Emma’s age. I told my daughter “it’s Carmen size” ❤️

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I know the results are scarey but just take care of yourself glad you don't smoke

❤

🙏🙏🙏

😊💖
