important appointment this morning

Please all of you offer up some prayers for us this morning! I am terribly nervous at what she will have to say to us, although based on my own Dr. googling and a new friend from yahoo the basic outcome will be (according to her whose DH also has a balanced translocation)

Basically with any translocation, you have a 1/3 chance of having a healthy living child. There are 6 outcomes:

The child doesn’t inherit any of the translocation – non carrier.
The child is like your husband – just a carrier.
The child gets an extra chromosome 14 –
birth defects or deadly.

The child gets an extra chromosome 22 –
birth defects or deadly
.
The child is missing a chromosome 14 –
birth defects or deadly
.
The child is missing a chromosome 22 –
birth defects or deadly.


"birth defects or deadly" stick out a little too much for me, I pray to God she offers up a little bit more hopeful information for us. Please pray for us especially @ 10:00.
