My Grandmother died on Valentine's Day, if you could spare some prayers for my Mother and her family, it would be appreciated.

My dad and grandmother are driving their way to Michigan right now. My Grandmother's sister died and they are going to her funeral. It's been years since my dad drove in snow - please send thoughts that they are having a safe trip, as well as a safe trip home.


I just wanted to add, I read this thread regularly although this is the first I've posted in here - I have been thinking of everyone.

Today was the long awaited ultrasound. They spent a ton of time looking at his heart (which is where they thought they might have seen concern before). Anyway, the tech looked at the baby for a good 45 minutes, and then the doctor came in and gave us the results. The doctor’s opinion concerning his heart was, quote, “ If I was a betting man, I would bet there is nothing wrong with his heart”…he said he really didn’t think there was anything wrong with it…but since there was concern for it at the previous ultrasound (and b/c the doctors need to be thorough)…I will have a fetal echocardiogram in 4 more weeks…where it will be looked at in more detail…then I have 2 more level 2 ultrasounds scheduled up until my due date. His bowel and kidneys appeared echogenic at the last ultrasound, meaning they were brighter in color than they should have been. His bowel has since cleared up, but his kidneys were still echogenic…but he didn’t seem too concerned about it…they seem to be functioning properly, since my amniotic fluid levels are normal (and a lot of that consists of fetal urine output). His femur bone is still measuring a little small, but my OBGYN wasn’t concerned about it, since I am small, and the men in my family are on the short side. Anyway, overall it was a really good appt. We were just praying for something positive to lean on, and hearing that they think his heart is fine, is so reassuring, and an answer to prayer. All of these “soft” markers, including the 2 vessel cord can happen to a downs syndrome baby, when all added up together, but normal babies can have these issues too. My genetic counselor had told me that a normal pregnancy has a 1% chance of downs, and ours is like 5% w/o a heart issue. With a heart issue (depending on how severe can mean anywhere from 10%-50% chance of downs) in combination with the other soft marker/issues he might have. Anyway, he measured the right weight at 1 lb. 1 oz. and was wiggling all over the place.

Thank you all so much for your prayers. I feel the Lord has given us some positive news to hang on to, and I was also praying that the doctors didn’t give us any unnecessary worry if there wasn’t real concern for it…and I think the doctor was very reassuring. Thanks so much, and please keep those prayers coming as I will be having more ultrasounds. Make sure to praise God in your prayer time for a good report, since his bowel looked normal and his heart appears normal at this point, as well as his kidneys, even though they are still echogenic, the fluid levels were normal to show they were functioning. Thanks again…I couldn’t have gotten through the month w/o your prayers and concern for us!! I will keep you posted as I know more!! God is good and hears our prayers!! I hope this note finds you all well!

Update from today's ultrasound...(I had posted about the last ultrasound a month ago, where there were some concerns)...

The baby's heart is fine!!!! Thanks so much for all of the prayers...praise God from whom all blessings flow!! They couldn’t find anything wrong with his heart…he is measuring right on for his gestational age too (I am 26 ½ weeks). He is measuring 2 lbs. 1 oz. The only thing that remains the same is his kidneys are still appearing bright on ultrasound scan…they are the right size, shape, in the right place and they are functioning normally ( b/c my amniotic fluid is normal), but they are bright. The doc said that there could be nothing wrong with them, or something could show up later on in his life, but to be on the safe side, they are referring us to a pediatric nephrologist (sp?)…he will sit down with us, before I deliver and discuss what tests he will want my pediatrician to run on him after he is born…apparently the kidneys should be functioning on their own normally after 48hrs. of being born, so they will probably monitor them in the hospital after delivery. It may be nothing, other than a little bright on scan, but they don’t want anything overlooked. I will still go back for more ultrasounds to check on his size, since he has a 2 vessel cord, and since I have gestational diabetes (these babies can tend to be big). So I have many more doctor appts. ahead of me, but at least they are checking everything out. I asked the doctor about the down syndrome risk now, since his heart is normal, and I had mentioned I was told that if his heart was normal, they thought maybe a 2-5% chance of downs and the doctor said he didn’t even think it was that high at this point, since there are no other markers, just the kidneys, basically….thank God for that as well!! So your prayers were heard…thanks so much!!

I am getting lots of Braxton Hicks Contractions, so I am hoping/praying they slow down…I had them with Christian too. Anyway, I appreciate all of your prayers !! Thanks again!!

Robyn (and Jeremey Lee)

PS. I could just request some prayer that my Braxton Hick's contractions slow down now...thanks!
