Test Results

I just got a call back from the Maternal Fetal Medicine department at the hospital with my blood test results.  Apparently everything looked good for this first part.  The risk of Down’s Syndrome has dropped to 1 in 3,800!  I was hoping for an even larger number but I know that’s still good.  I have to go back for the second round of bloodwork as part of the sequential screening between 9/14-9/28 so I’m going to try and do that as early as possible so it’ll be over and done with.  And I can just take the shuttle over to the hospital and get it done while I’m here without having to make a separate trip.  The lady on the phone said the Cystic Fibrosis results generally take a little longer so those unforunately weren’t available today.  At our appointment last week, the genetic counselor told us there’s a big push in Colorado for early detection and that all newborn’s are tested so I’m sure they’ll let me know if anything is abnormal.  Yay for small victories!
