We showed up at the doctor's office and had our ultrasound. The technician that was doing the ultrasound didn't say much and said that the doctor would be in a few minutes to look over things. RED FLAG!!! OK what is going to happen? Now if you have read the past post about the first time we got pregnant, it was during an ultrasound that we found out that we were going to have a miscarriage.
The doctor came into the office and looked over all the scans. Next thing we knew we were being told that our child would not survive two weeks. TWO WEEKS! What in the world has happened? After getting off the floor when I passed out (ok, I didn't really pass out but I did feel like I did).
The doctor said that he had Hydrops Fetalis non-immune. They weren't sure what the cause was but that it could be Chromosomal or Viral. There was fluid around the heart, lungs and the back of the neck. Down syndrome is one of the most probable reasons for this the Hydrops. It could be other Chromosomal things like Trisomy 13 or 18 which are fatal to the child and most do not live long if ever born.
Talk about a big shock to us. We contacted everybody we knew that would pray for us. We continue to need prayers until all of this is over. We hope and pray that all will turn out OK. We know GOD has the power of Miracles and we are praying that our little child will receive a Miracle from God.
For those of you who are curious we did find out the sex. Let's just say it was a BLUE day. Yes you guessed it, it's a BOY!
