Doctor Tells Expectant Parents of Baby With Down Syndrome They’re a “Lucky Couple”
by Nancy Flanders | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 1/3/14 7:31 PMGlennon, creator of Momastery, was having an ultrasound with her first born child when doctors discovered “a few issues.” Worried her baby would die, she waited anxiously for the doctor to tell her and her family what was going on. While she waited, she willed her baby to live.
The doctor went on to inform her that her baby boy had a large cyst on his brain and an echogenic focus on his heart. In addition, his neck was measuring thick.
After looking her baby over for a few more minutes, the doctor left the room saying he would return shortly. When he finally did return, he told the family that any of those problems on their own could be a marker for Down syndrome, but together, it meant that the baby would most likely have Down syndrome. Glennon writes on her blog of this moment:
