August 3rd

We are 20 weeks along in our pregnancy and we have gotten some really bad news. First the baby has a twin that has already died. Second the fluid around the baby is very low. Third the baby has what is called Body Stalk Anomaly or Limb Body Anomaly. This defigurations is Lethal and the Baby is going to die. Body Stalk Anomaly has many characteristics such as a short amblical cord, Limb Deformations which in our case is the legs, Absent Kidneys and Bladder. This baby has very small abnormal Kindneys and no bladder. The Baby also has a shortened limb. This Anomaly happens in only 1 to 10,000 pregnancies. We have been told that is not a genitic disorder and the Doctors have high hopes for normal future Pregnancies. We are grateful for all your support and prayers.
