Another scare...

OB just called and said our quad screening results were abnormal. The results showed a "positive" for downs syndrome. Let me first say I know this is just a screening test, and is not diagnostic. Now, that being said... We are doing amnio next week. The OB cited my age, medical conditions, and previous miscarriages as reasons (in addition to screening) that we should go ahead with the amnio. If this was our first baby, I would probably not do the amnio. However, if this baby has medical issues related to Downs, or will be in need of special care, we need to start to prepare ourselves, the other kids, and our immediate family. Please keep us in your prayers.
