hi. as of just recently my wife and I had a 19 week ultra sound. we were hoping to find out the gender so we could be a bit more ready for when the baby comes. later the day of we get a call from our midwife explaining that she doesn't deliver babies with problems. so of course we start to worry right away. she sends us to a specialist at a women's hospital a hard few days later.
We got to the appointment, which was made, because they found two light spots on the ultrasound photo and need a closer look, a short we sit down with the geneticist at the hospital. she gave us four scenarios that it could be, the least going first. could be ok nothing wrong, or to it having bowel problems, to cystic fibrosis, which we needed a blood test for, and then down syndrome.
the blood test takes two weeks, we have an option to amniocentesis which can now tell in three days, but a 1% risk of an miscarriage. we took the chance. the results came back three days later, we sat down with another nice doctor and concellor. the results came back with 50% normal cells and 50% with the other half with the extra chromosome which is call Mosaic Down Syndrome.
we were devastated..... we had three options. first was to terminate which we though about. second was a heart ultra sound to see how it was doing and finally do nothing. so we booked an appointment for both 1 and 2 then went home and wept asking why did it happen to us we are a young healthy couple...
after a hard few more days and with alot of support from both families, and alot of prayers and advice we decided that this baby is going to be the most precious gift from GOD. we has a plan for all of us and tests us in many ways. in HIM anything is possible. we cancelled both appointments going on faith knowing that GOD is with us and loves us always. HE gives us strength when we need it.
Be strong for one another and know that HE never gives us more than we can handle. GOD bless,
I will update and tell u how its coming along. BTW, my wife is now 21 1/2 weeks.
p.s we found out that its going to be a beautiful baby girl!
which we already had a name for before all this happened. my Oma's name Thea. in Greek it means GIFT FROM GOD. that is incredible.
thanks for reading..love u all.
