Another prior email from Jared:
After a terrifying week and lots of prayer, the test came back negative for Trisomy 13, 18 and 21 and we were elated.
This would be short lived however.
After returning to the specialist today for a follow up (16 weeks) and another sonogram, we have very sad news to report. The baby shows abnormal brain development with cysts, little to no kidney function, a hole in the heart, and some other complications.
Becky will be having an amniocentesis tomorrow morning to conduct further testing to try and establish a final prognosis which can take up to two weeks, but most likely the findings will remain the same, incompatible with life. Needless to say we are completely devastated (again) and going through a lot of emotions right now. I will be taking some time off of work to care for Becky and the kids. We will have some difficult times ahead of us as we wait for more information. Prayers are certainly appreciated.
