Amnio Results

We received a call from the genetics counselor yesterday with the results. She told us that the test came back negative for trisomy 18, that it is a little boy (which made Katharine's day) and it was also negative for spina bifida. This of course is a huge relief. There are still some areas of concern with the baby and having ruled out the trisomy they can begin to focus and narrow down what potential defects may still exist. One of the other concerns the Dr. told us about on Jan 3 was VACTERAL Association (click for more info). There are several of these associations that appear to be present (kidney, trachea, esophagus & limb) so our next step is to have another sonogram by a different hospital (second opinion) to determine if these elements still appear.

We thank you all so very much for your love and support through this process. It has been a blessing and helped us so much through this. The road ahead is still rough, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. We will keep everyone updated as usual. Please continue all of your thoughts & prayers they are obviously working :) and remember "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes"
