A hellish week

Sean's 17 weeks ultrasound last Thursday showed two soft markers linked to some chromosome abnormalities. One of them is called "choroid plexus cyct" which gives an increased risk of Edward's syndrome. As a scientist myself, I know how serious and deadly Trisomy 18 can be. The other unusual sign detected from the ultrasound is "calcium deposits" on Sean's liver. After a little research, I found this hepatic calcification could turn out to be nothing at all but it is still a sign suggesting possibilities of fetal infection and/or genetic disorder.
As a scientist, I know the odds strongly favor us. However, to a father, the situation is overwhelmingly cruel and unbearable. Indeed, I have never been this vulnerable in my whole life, but I know I have to be strong and even stronger than ever because of Sean and my lovely wife; they all rely on me.
Now I've got all my fingers and even toes crossed. I pray again and again for God's mercy on them.
