Relief!

November 15, 2011 | Miscellany

In July Spare was screened as a very high risk for Trisomy 18. We had a gloomy chat with a genetic councillor, a tense ultrasound, and a slightly more tense amnio in Kingston. August 11th we got the full test results. NO TRACE OF TRISOMY 18. Go hug your kids folks, they’re pretty special people.

The final ultrasound yesterday answered all the remaining naggy questions brought about from the earlier drama. “Everything is fine.” Relief! We saw all her important parts. Heart, placenta, stylish carry-on bag. This girl is prepared. I APPRECIATE THAT.
