We got the amnio results today. It isn't good.
She has trisomy 9. Full trisomy 9 which is worse than partial or mosaic. I don't know much about it. We are meeting with the doctor on Thursday to discuss it.
The thing about it is, neither the doctor nor the genetic counselor have ever seen a Trisomy 9 baby make it past 8 weeks in the pregnancy. I'm 20 weeks. Everyone is puzzled as to what to expect.
The chances of her surviving the pregnancy are slim, the outcome of life if she is born is probably slimmer. Needless to say we are heartbroken and we find ourselves in yet another situation where we just have to wait and see.
We are okay. Really we are. We are just having to process the news and well... wait. If anything becomes clearer after meeting with the doctors who have no experience with a case like ours I will keep everyone posted.
Thanks for the prayers.
Emma...what can we even say?
