The CVS Test

The CVS test is scheduled for tomorrow morning. It is a quick, but uncomfortable, procedure. I will be on bed rest all day tomorrow following the procedure because they say the procedure could possibly cause a miscarriage. This test will tell us if the cystic hygroma is caused by a chromosomal abnormality or not. If it is a chromosomal abnormality, we'd know within a day or two after the procedure, but would not know which abnormality it was until 8-14 days. If it is not a chromosomal abnormality, we would not know that for 8-14 days.

Please pray that it is not a chromosomal abnormality!!! The baby's chances are so much higher if it is not a chromosomal abnormality.
