Really good news

It has taken over a month but today we got the news we have been waiting for and it was all good. We have been looking to find out what gene mutations Andrea's cousin has. He has Cystic Fibrosis and if he had any mutations that can be tested for then we would be in the clear. As it turns out he has 2 mutations that are tested for and Andrea was negative for those. That with the fact that the Echogenic Bowel that was present 3 months ago has been gone in the last 2 ultrasounds means that all should be well. This means that we are at no higher risk than anyone else for CF and only a very slight chance of Downs Syndrome. Chances are that the original Echogenic Bowel that showed up was either a fluke or the baby may have swallowed a small amount of blood. I sometimes wonder if we were better off without all this medical technology. One bright spot on an ultrasound and we lose months of sleep and while insurance paid the majority of it there was about $10,000 in tests to find out that everything is fine. While I am sure that she did not do anything on purpose I think Riley is still grounded as soon as she comes out for putting us through this. Thanks to everyone who has been praying for this and thanks God.
