another concern.

I got to go for an amnio this week. Should that turn up Down's Syndrome or Trisomy disorders, the baby will not be equipped to survive after birth, let alone survive the surgeries. We're still trying to deal with that possibility. If that's the case, we have the option to terminate the pregnancy or carry full term and let baby Eli pass in the comfort of our home. No medical care given.

If it comes back fine, then the rest of the pregnancy should be okay. It's once he's born that we start facing the real heart problems.

Positive energy leads to positive things.

We are waiting on the results from the Amnio-FISH test. These results are 98% accurate; we'll have the FISH results back on Wednesdasy and the full genetic makeup in 7-10 days.

I wish I had the words to even begin to express how grateful and touched and supported and loved we feel. Your emails and comments constantly remind that we're not alone in this. We're blessed with amazing family and friends, and I'm amazed at how incredible each of you, who took time to email or write or comment or think of us, are as well. Thank you doesn't seem to be enough. Please forgive me, though, if I don't get back to you for a while.
