Hey everyone! Just wanted to give a quick update. We still haven't received the full amnio results from the genetic counselor. The main things they were looking for have already been crossed off the list (Thankfully!), but we are still waiting for the rest of the stuff. The other "stuff" is a lot more uncommon. Joe and I would both have to carry a recessive gene for the syndrome in order for Frankie to get it. It is still possible, but not as likely as the others. The reason it is taking so long is that they didn't get enough fluid when the amnio was done so they had to do a subculture of the culture they already had. Once those cells have grown more, we will have a better idea. Praying nothing comes up.
My next doctor's appointment is on May 18th. I will be seeing the OB/GYN for an in depth ultrasound of Frankie and after that I will head back down to Children's Hospital for the heart echo. If all goes well with the echo, I will not need to get anymore! :) Amazing! So, things are going slowly but surly.... kind of frightening, but all will be okay! Still seeing the OB/GYN bi-weekly. In mid June we meet with the surgeon again and take a tour of the NICU and the labor and delivery at Barnes. Love to you all!
