Update

We went to the perinatologist on Wednesday July 6th. The markers of the choroid plexus cysts were still there. I was hoping they would be gone in the two weeks since the last scan. But the doctors say they usually don't disappear til 26-32 weeks. Anyway, the scan with the doctor was uneventful besides seeing the cysts again. He said he did not see anything wrong with any of the other main organs and the baby was measuring fine. For a baby with Trisomy 18, he said, you would usually see many other gross anomalies with the cysts. He does want to rescan me at 26 weeks to see if the cysts were still there. That will be August 31st. This doctor was very short and dry unlike my ob/gyn. Now that we have had some time to let this sink all in, I will have many questions for my ob/gyn when I see him this month. We are so thankful that he did not see any other markers. We are also so thankful for all the concerns and prayers we have received from all our friends and family. We will keep you updated.
