One step forward, two steps back.
It has been a long week. Andrea still has the shingles and they have just started to improve in some areas but are getting worse in others. She is not very happy and I feel terrible that I can't do more for her. We had to cancel our ultrasound we had scheduled for this past Wednesday. There was no way she could lay there for 2 hours. We will try again this coming week. These shingles are really something. They hurt her all the time. We did the test results back that we were waiting for. Some good, some not so good. The Downs screening came back good. There is a 1/388 chance that the baby with the echogenic bowel has Downs. The test for the infection came back that she had been exposed to that virus in her life but not recently and they were not concerned. The CF test came back that I was a carrier so our odds went south on that one. Before we started the process we were told that we had a 1/1200 chance of having a kid with CF. Two weeks ago we were told that we were at 5% of the baby having CF and now with the new information we are at 15%-20%. On a good note she has been feeling the girls move more and more and that is always exciting to her. Her job has been very good to her and letting her work from home. I wanted her to take the time off but she wants to stay working. So that is it for now, pray for her and the girls and I will update after the ultrasound on Wednesday.
