Hello all.

I'm not sure how long it takes to get posts added to this thread. I did post one yesterday and it hasn't been "approved" yet.

Anyhow, a lot has happened since I first posted. As mentioned, our amnio results came back favourable and today we had a 16 week ultrasound they wanted to perform right after the amnio results. The baby's development is right on schedule and all looks well so far. We got the news from the perinatologist that the hygroma has shrunk almost completely and is definitely "resolving". My wife and I both know we are far from out of the woods, but this was encouraging news. We have another ultrasound scheduled for 2 weeks and the fetal echo test in about 5 weeks.

We have been following that CH thread on BabyCenter.com which has us so nervous. Too many mothers had normal chromosome results, had the CH resolve, but still had hydrops or other birth defects develop so much later. We're trying to temper family member's enthusiasm because my wife and I both know the realities of the situation. While we are encouraged by the turn of events, we know we still have around 6 months of emotional roller coaster to deal with HOPEFULLY. I say hopefully because if we make it 6 months, there is a good chance we'll make it for good.

Only time will tell. Thanks for your words of encouragement. I'll check back in a while.

Cheers,

Brad
