The wait is finally over, for the blood test results at least. The nurse at the fetal medicine specialist's office told us that the blood test results coupled with the sonogram images indicate that we are at significantly increased odds of having a baby with Down's Syndrome. I never thought that would be good news, but I was actually relieved when I heard that. First, it is our understanding at this point that this is not a definite diagnosis. We know that we serve God who trumps any diagnosis. Secondly, compared to some of the other possible diagnoses, this one gives us hope that we will actually get to bring this little one home. Please continue to pray for the baby that God is knitting together even now--for health and good development. Pray for us that we would be faithful to follow Him every step.
I'll continue to update you not only with medical news but news of our family as it pertains to this little one. Our next appointment with our midwife is Thursday, October 22. We will probably have another sonogram around the halfway mark in my pregnancy (early November) to check the baby's development. We should know more about our little one then. For now, we wait, expecting great things of God.
Thanks for praying,
Amy Joy
