The genetic array came back early!
Initial results state that it's.. clean! No genetic issues found. So, what does this mean for us? It means that Henry's holoprosencephaly could be a fluke. Just something that happens.
It means that, if the single-gene checks come back clean as well, that we may be able to try again. When we're ready. Amelia may still get the chance to be a big sister.
It seems horrible to think about another child, now, but.. it's a relief. If Henry's testing comes back genetically clear, then we won't have to worry about Amelia when she gets older -- could she be a carrier? Will my daughter experience this situation?
I met with a neonatal hospice coordinator yesterday. Such a wonderful person. I try to remain clinical, but breakdowns happen.
We're not going to have enough time with him. Not nearly enough, but every second will be cherished.
