Until today. We got a call from the doctor's office saying that all the results (full results) are normal. In other words, to the best of anyone's knowledge, there are no genetic abnormalities. We are still trying to see if we can get an even more in-depth study to grow the chromosomes even more, but it looks as though we're in the clear for the really bad stuff.
There was another test that was done for spina bifida and a couple other neurological disorders that came back negative, which is even better news.
So far, so good. It looks as though we may just be one of those lucky omphalocele cases that occur in only 1 in 10,000 babies where everything else is normal. We're still hoping that it will shrink to create less of a problem after birth, but we are rejoicing for the news today anyhow. Keep praying for continued good results as we will be continuing to test random disorders that do not show up on an amniocentesis.
YEAH!!!! I'm so excited!!!!

ReplyDeleteAwesome!! I feel very optimistic about the whole situation. Kudos to you guys for being so persistent and on top of things... not that I'd expect anything less from you, but I definitely think that continually putting yourself in a position of finding out the unknown and being so brave is commendable. :) (And yay, Spring break! ...for you guys.)
