Baby Wyatt

Hey Ladies, sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you guys. My appointment on Thursday with the Perinatologist was at 12:15 and we did not leave till 4:30. I had NO idea we would be there that long. So first we saw the US tech for a Level 2 US. I just loved him! He was so nice and so great, nothing like the US tech at Edstroms office. She was awful! Because we have two little guys in there the US takes about 90 minutes.After that we saw the genetic counselor who goes over everything with you. They do think Wyatt has something called Dandy Walker Syndrome. I am a little confused as this whole time they were telling us he had an Enlarged Cisterna Magna. Today however it seemed to be normal and it was his Cerebellum they were looking at. In a normal child the cerebellum looks kind of like a figure 8 and the middle part of the 8 is closed. In Wyatt's case his is open. They are not sure if there is any tissue there at all. Don't really know what that means but whatever.Dandy Walker Syndrome can lead to many other things, that is the hard part. We really wont know for sure till Wyatt is born. After I saw her we went back in the US room to see the Dr who then did a amnio. OK, they hurt!!! If anybody tells you otherwise, they are lying!!! With twins they like to do an amnio on both of them but I would only let them do it on Wyatt. It increases your chance of loosing them the more amnio procedures you do. With the amnio they are ruling out any genetic disorders as well as Trisomy 13, Trisomy 18 and 21. With Trisomy 13 and 18 Wyatt would not make it. Some babies pass just before birth and are still born. The others die just after birth. Trisomy 21 is Downs. We can live with that. I am just praying it's not the 13 or 18. Staying positive!!!! The good thing is, Wyatt does not have any other abnormalities. So that is helpful! I think we are going to deliver at TG for Wyatt's sake. They are a level 3 NICU and that is best for him. Allot of the times Dandy Walker babies need help after birth and it's best to already be at the best place for him instead of transferring from Good Sam to TG when Wyatt can get the best medical care at TG. At TG Wyatt will also be able to see all the specialist he needs to see while he is there. Like pediatric neurologist and pediatric neurosurgery. For now thats all we know. Hopefully we will get preliminary results on Monday. I just keep praying that Wyatt is OK. If he is my special needs baby we will be OK with that. As long as he is healthy and living, that is all that matters to me. Thank you for all your prayers and support through this difficult time. It really means allot to us!
