I know that this nothing to do with adhesions, but I was hoping that I could
ask the group for some extra prayers today. My daughter is expecting her
third child in November. She recently had an afp blood test done and an
ultrasound and was told that she had a 1 in 25 chance of having a baby with
trisomy 18. (With trisomy 18 many babies die before birth and of those that
survive 90% die before reaching 1) Today she will be undergoing a level 3
ultrasound and possibly an amniocentisis. From my understanding the
ultrasound should show some obvious defects.....but there is a chance that
everything will look normal and the baby still have t18. Her ob has highly
recommended that she have both so I don't know what she will decide. I
don't know if she is hiding things or what....but I know that I have some
major concerns. Anything less than 1/300 is considered high risk, but Nikki
feels that 1 in 25 is still good odds....I cannot be that relaxed. I know
that no matter what God will be there for us, but it sure doesn't hurt to
know that others are praying for us as well.
