Corley's Story

As a routine checkup I saw my physician for a ultra sound to determine the gender of our child. Unfortunately I left with more than just the knowledge we had some girl parts but little Corley has a mass on the back of her neck. So immediately my doctor was concerned and sent me to another doctor to get a second look with another ultra sound to see what was going on. The ultra sound technican scanned over my belly for at least 20 minutes examining Corley from head to toe. The longest examination was her heart. I immediately asked her if something was wrong with the heart and she said something I was not expecting… Ashley there is something wrong with the heart but there are also multiple defects I see with the baby. Fluid on the heart, lungs and brain. Also, a lymphatic cyst on the babies neck. Which usually means Trisomy 18. The doctor came in and shared with us the things we will need to do and what is going to happen with the baby. My heart broke into a millions pieces knowing my sweet baby girl is in so much trouble. My thought was its going to be ok, we have one healthy and beautiful child and whatever happens he is here and well. This Tuesday we will be going in for a amniocentesis so please pray for us and patience for we will have to wait 10 days to hear the results. Matthew and I can not thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers and right now we do ask that you continue to pray for our family and the health of our child. I do have a praise report, Conner did take two steps. I am so thankful he is a healthy little boy and a happy one at that. May God bless you all and again thank you and we love you!
