Devastating news ☹️
I got some devastating news yesterday. I went in for the echo of her heart and they determined she has an atrioventricular canal defect. She will need surgery to fix it when her body can handle a surgery like that. She did gain a pound in just a matter of a week or two so she is now 2 pounds and some ounces but the doctor said while in the womb she will continue to be a small baby. Because of this kind of heart defect and the fact that she is such a small baby the doctor said that the likely hood of her having DS is rly high. I did an amniocentesis yesterday where they stick the needle in your belly and collect amniotic fluid to test for chromosomal issues. I wont get any kind of results until Monday and the wait is killing me. They said there's no cause as to why DS happens it just happens to 1 out of 900 ppl. I never thought I'd be in this situation but I guess no ever does. All we can do is hope and pray that we get good results on Monday. If you're religious please pray for my daughter as well. Thank you.
