In need of prayers after our anat. scan

This is how it went "

Yesterday was not the day I thought it would be.  Not at all.   I had an appt. for an anatomy scan and dr appt yesterday.  We have had several quick sonos and already knew it was a boy.. so I had DH stay home and watch DS.  I was just fine going by myself.   My reg sono girl greeted me and off to the room we went.  I told her that the anat. scan always makes me nervous since the take "official" measurements.  We started scan.  We chatted. She didnt point out much...and looking back that was unusual.  She kept taking pics of heart and head.  Then it was over.  No other organs were measured after heart.  I thought it was fast but I knew she was good so I didnt think much about it.  She said he was measuring in the 48th % and said I can wait for reg dr. appt in waiting room.  I was called back..just like normal.  took BP and asked reg questions.  Then my Dr came in....Then my world was turned upside down.  He immediately sat right down and said he just got the sono results...and there is some problems with baby.  What he said next was mainly a blur... he said hole in heart, and cystic hygroma (fluid sac at back of neck)  and chromosome disorder...that were had appt to see perientologist that afternoon.   I cried....he kept saying how sorry he was.  Then I gathered my self and wiped my tears, and put on my brave face to walk out to car.  Then I lost it...  I rushed home to my DH and DS who greeted me at the door with smiles...then looks of confusion...Cory right away asked what was wrong.  All I could get out was  " something is wrong with Mason".  Cory let our parents know and they came over.  We cried and cried.   We got in car and went to Peri appt.  They did an extensive sono and then our sweet Dr came in to do scan again.  Then he told us what he saw.  1st was the heart.  a normal heart has 4 chambers... Mason on has 1...he is missing the rest.   2nd are the chrom. factors.  They think he may have downs.   3rd is the fluid all around this neck and head. (there is alot)   ....  He has a 10% chance of making it to birth.   We dont know much untill amnio comes back.   All we can do is pray now....but I as though my world is crushed.  My Mason was perfect 24hrs ago...and now he is not.     Please pray for my sweet mason and the journey we have in front of us.
