Update

Wanted to let you all know we got the report from the amniocentesis today. All of the chromosomes they looked at on the quick test came back normal. So it's not trisomy 13, trisomy 18, down's, or triploidy. They will get the complete kariotype back next week sometime. So because all these results were negative we will have to go to the cardiologist tomorrow and then to the geneticist on Monday. We'll know more after seeing the cardiologist tomorrow at 11:45, but from what they have been telling us it does not look good. I was a little confused about what I told you all about the heart on Tuesday so I'll explain that again. It is not developing in the wrong place. The problem is that the heart basically only has a left side. So the side that brings air flow to the lungs is not developing. We just ask your continued prayers for wisdom and strength for us as we try to figure out what is going on and what our options are. It may be that another chromosome that hasn't come back yet could still be the problem or it could be a genetic thing, or just something that went wrong that no one can really explain. Thanks so much for all the prayers and support that you've given us already. You don't know how much your phone calls, emails, prayers, visits, etc. have helped us. We really appreciate the love and prayers that have been poured out for us in the last couple of days. Again, I don't know what to ask everyone to pray for but I just ask that you keep praying.

I know it has to be tough to have to wait on these answers and keep going to more doctors and do more tests...so I am just praying that you continue to have the strength and faith to get through this time of uncertainty and testing (testing both physically and spiritually!) Love ya'll very much!
