A Bit of a Scare

Hey all!
Thank you so much for checking of our blog and leaving your feedback and comments. I love reading what you have to say!
On Monday we had a bit of a scare. We got a call from our nurse telling us that the ultrasound showed that Lily has a cyst on her brain. Of course when we heard this we panicked. We didn't know what the implications of this would be- what it would mean for Lily. After a tough day and a lot of research we have learned a lot about Choroid Plexus Cysts! Rather than me trying to explain the situation I have included a bunch of useful links that explain the problem in layman's terms, if you'd like to check them out.

We go next week to see a specialist-- to meet with a Genetic Counselor and to have another ultrasound with a pre-natal specialist. I will know more then and will keep you posted.
Please keep Lily in your prayers. We know that God is with us and that everything will be okay- no matter what- but it helps to have the support of wonderful family and friends. Thank you all!
