Parry Boy Ultrasound Scare

Chad and I have been neck deep all sorts of crazy. When we got an ultrasound for Parry Boy there were some concerns we needed to have looked at by a specialist. Doctors will be keeping an eye on his dilated right kidney but things should work themselves out. The big scare was that the the problems they saw with the ultrasound were both soft markers for Down’s syndrome. The genetic counselor and doctors assured us that they do not believe our risk has been increased by these things. Good news. At any rate we have had some fantastic support from a family in our ward. Faith watches Eden for all of my OB appointments and it turns out her husband, Chad, is a medical specialist for the potential defect Parry Boy has. What a relief. They have both been so encouraging and helpful, even in little ways. We are totally reassured after talking to specialists but have definitely been stressed about it.
