@Texafornian I am so sorry the results of the past few days haven't been what you were hoping for. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family right now. I can't possibly imaging how hard this is for you.
@Texafornian you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. I hope you can find the strength you need through this.

@Texafornian I'm praying for a miracle, and that you are able to find peace in this situation, whatever may happen. You've been in my thoughts constantly. (Hugs)
@Texafornian, praying for you. My situation is not the same, but with my son (first baby) he had completely clear ultrasounds and nothing abnormal during pregnancy but at birth was found to be missing 2 fingers on his left hand. They just failed to develop. It was of course shocking and very scary initially wondering how this was going to affect him in life and if there were any other problems that could go along with it. He required surgery to separate his other digits but now uses his hand perfectly and has no other underlying issues. Regardless of the outcome, you are your child's advocate and they can accomplish wonderful things with great parents.
@Texafornian you are in my thoughts and prayers. Praying so hard for you and your little baby. Sending you the biggest hugs. I so wish I could take you out for a pedicure. I can't imagine what you are going through or feeling right now, but I'm holding your hand in spirit!
I had to wait an hour and 40 mins for my appt (not my doc's fault). The doctor was kind and explained everything which I liked...the ultrasound showed the same results as my last two plus we could see fluid around the abdomen (Tuesday we saw it around the brain...so it's kind of everywhere). My placenta was anterior so he chose to go through my abdomen instead of cervix. Not horrible but most certainly NOT comfortable...I got a topical numbing followed by a quick pinch of a needle and heat and some internal twinges. Then a quick stab to get the extraction needle in...then just a few seconds to suction some cells from the placenta. Unfortunately he didn't get enough to test so I had to go through the whole damn process AGAIN. Numbing, needle numbing and pinch. Second time he got enough. I immediately had cramping akin to I'd say a 6-7 dilation ...like labor contractions but constant. They subsided in about 20-30 mins. I'm now just sore but doing ok...it's not horrific if any of you have to go through it...more scary than anything. I get preliminary results back tomorrow or Monday which will confirm or shoot down the t21 diagnoses from the 3 doctors and the genetic blood work. It will then take another 2-3wks for the entire panel to come back. Baby still has a heartbeat of 164. In my heart of hearts I know what the test will say so that coupled with the severe Hydrops gives me a good sense of what's going to occur. Was hoping to see something different...in good spirits though.
@Texafornian I'm praying for you that you will feel peace and comfort during this difficult time. You are so strong and an awesome example to all of us ladies on this board.
@Texafornian I'm just so sorry you're having to go through all of this. You are so strong to even be able to share all of this. We are thinking of you and praying for you.
@Texafornian I'm so sorry. I've been thinking of you all day. I really wish we were closer so I could give you a real life hug rather than just a creepy Internet one.
