Bad News

Looks like baby has an echogenic bowel which means Michael is at a high risk for having down's syndrome or cystic fibrosis, or a myriad of other problems.  Really not good news.  We had a cystic fibrosis test and a quad screen this morning for more definitive odds but won't hear for 4 days - 2 weeks.  We are also being referred to a high risk specialist but probably won't see him for several weeks.  At that time we will have a more detailed ultrasound and the option of an amnio...which I am thinking I will in fact get.  We would not consider an abortion, but not knowing is killing me.  I am so worried about my sweet little boy.  I don't feel like I can handle life anymore right now, it's all been way too much the past year.  My heart is broken.  I am praying for God to take care of my son but know the reality that things aren't looking great.

Please pray for baby Michael and his family.
