20 Week Ultra Sound

I was twenty weeks pregnant when we found out that our little Gal was going to be clubbed foot in both feet. It was scary news and it was a total shock to us at first. The ultra sound Dr was a jerk he had us so scared he told us that she was going to have Spina Bifida and that if she did not have that then for sure she was going to have down syndrome or some type of a syndrome problem.  He did tell us that she would have to have surgery right away after having her like with in the first wk of life which it totally NOT true at all. He did tell us that her case was some where between a mild to moderate case. He asked us if it would help if a genetic councilor  called us to talk to us about all of this and we said sure but never got the call though.

This is the ultra sound picture of her feet at 20 wks.

I remember walking out of that ultra sound just in total fear and so over whelmed that I was going to have a baby girl who would not have a chance to be a normal little girl who would not be able to walk, run, skip,  and be able to keep her two older brothers in line  for me. We went right to my Moms house and got online and we googled it and got some good info and not so good info. But the best thing that happened for us is My fabulous Mom called up at Primary children's hospital to the orthopedic department and we got an appointment to go talk to one of the Dr's up there a week later. That week in between the Ultra sound and waiting to go talk to the Dr was hell for me I was so worried and so over whelmed with all of the potability's that could or couldn't happen. I am grateful for my family and friends for the prayers and the fast that we did it truly helped us out.
