Got some great ultrasound pictures. :) This guy was not too cooperative today because he was determined to keep his arm right in front of the area they were trying to look at most! Everything looks good, but they are pretty sure it is a cleft lip AND palate, which means multiple surgeries. We are anxious to talk to the pediatric doctors next and find out many answers to our questions still unresolved. :) We are just relieved that everything else appears to be fine. That means its only "a bump in the road" and he should have a great life ahead of him. :)
We are going to have an echo-cardiogram June 4th just to check the heart more in depth. This is routine for this situation and they do not suspect anything is wrong. This will give them another chance to get a better face shot if he decides to cooperate. They did show us some of the ultrasound in 3D so that was pretty neat. The ultrasound tech from our hospital even called me this afternoon to see how the appt went and said they may do another ultrasound later as well.
We can't thank Sara and her mom enough for watching our girl today. :) Lorelei got to play at Lily's house all morning and part of the afternoon! The office was running very behind schedule and I just kept thinking "I'm so glad I'm not having to try and entertain Lorelei in this waiting room!" Not to mention the lengthy ultrasound with the tech trying to get this little guy to move his arm! :) Lorelei had a great time at her friends house and hopefully we can repay the favor soon!
Again thank you all for such great support.
