    :tp: My EX best friend strikes again.....

    This is probably going to be the toughest thing that I have ever had to say, so it's going to be said this way to be able to tell everyone at the same time and to ask for your support.

    Bill and I have been having some testing done on the baby. Usually routine testing due to my age, but the baby came back as a high risk for Downs Syndrome and something called Trisomy 18. This was told to us at our 12 week ultrasound.

    On the 19th, we had another ultrasound (usual 18 week check) and the doctor noticed something that didn't look right and she recommended an amniocentesis. We had the amnio done at that time and got the results back last week.

    Our precious little girl has been diagnosed with Trisomy 18. For a brief summary, it's a very BAD thing. 90% of babies don't survive until full term, of the 10% that do, 90% don't live through their first year and most don't make it past 2 - 3 months. They are profoundly mentally retarded and have a host of medical problems and physical deformities.

    Bill and I have decided that it would be the best thing for our little girl to not have to suffer and we are going to be delivering her as soon as the hospital can arrange it and sending her back to God.

    At this time, we would like to ask for your prayers for strength and guidance.

    Please, keep us and baby Rosemary in your thoughts and prayers.

    Love,
    Bill and Karen
    Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.

    Nerak, I am so profoundly sorry for you guys.

    I know this decision has been extremely hard, and it's probably harder because it just doesn't seem fair. It's not fair.

    My prayers are with you and yours, and I wish you the best.

    Thanks everyone.

    I just wanted to let me "other family" know what was going on.

    It's been very hard to think lately and just reading the boards is next to impossible.

    So, bear with me whilst I find my mind again and keep me in your pockets!

    Oh, my God... I'm so sorry, Karen. I wish there were a way to make it all better. I can't even begin to imagine what this must be like to have to go through, but you always struck me as a strong spirit. I'll be keeping you and yours in my thoughts. Take care.

    I am sorry to hear about what you, your husband and precious rosemary are going through. I have been through the same experience except my daughter was diagnosed with Congestive Diaphramatic Hernia with additional abnormalities when I was 4 months pregnant with her. I do understand what your going through. My daughter died 16 hours after birth.

    My family and I will keep all of you in our prayers. And if you ever want to talk about it, I know it will take time, but please feel free to pm me when and if you are ready to talk.

    Karen,

    I am so sorry to hear this news. No one should ever have to go through this. You have demonstrated a great abmount of mental courage just letting us know. No amount of words can ease your pain, but know that we all love you here on the darktower.com and perhaps our thoughts and prayers and kind words can help to ease your pain.

    God Bless,
    Bob
