I wrote about my last pregnancy in Tiny Love...
The genetic testing on our baby is back... Our son's name is Lawrence Ignatius (named after Fr. Larry Richards, the amazing evangelist Priest who married us and continues to administer the Sacraments to us and our children) and St. Ignatius~ prolific writer. Our son did have Trisomy 18. This was the same genetic disorder which affects the 18th chromosome (three genes instead of two...hence the Tri)...which as they say in the medical world, "makes this child incompatible with life".
This is very rare to have two children with Trisomy 18. They suspect my husband or I have a fragmented 18th chromosome. Doctors reccomend we have genetic testing/counseling.
Simply amazing that we have seven healthy, chromosomally sound children!
