Update on *TW* high risk blood test for trisomy 18

Hi, ladies!
You all were so kind and loving during my first post. I was going to update the post, but for so reason I can't. So, here I am, starting a new post.
Brief history- my results from the panorama test came back high risk for trisomy 18, with a 1:20 chance.
My 12 week US with a high risk dr was perfect. He saw no markers present for t18 and was hopeful it was a false alarm.
Today I had my 16 week US and baby Sam has 3 t18 markers: choroid cysts; dilated kidneys; femur measuring 1 week behind the rest of his body. The dr said that none of these alone would be too scary, but that combining all 3 with my blood test alarmed him. I went ahead and had an amnio and should have the FISH results on Monday.
Please send prayers and good thoughts our way. This has been such a roller coaster and I'm just emotionally exhausted.
Sending love to all of you mommies!

if this hasn't been a roller coaster, I don't know what is! My FISH results came back perfectly normal. I asked the doctor if there was a chance that a partial or mosaic trisomy 18 would show up and he said that they often do show up on FISH. I asked if I should be hopeful or continue to hold my breath until we get the amnio results and he said that we should be very hopeful and that he thinks we are out of woods. Thank you all again for love and prayers. I'll update again once I get the full amnio results back.
