[tri-wings] finally have answers

Hi everyone - just wanted to thank everyone again for your support and give you 
all an update - after a grueling 2 weeks of inconclusive results - we finally 
have a diagnoisis - Our baby doesn't have Trisomy 18 - She has TRIPLOIDY which 
apparently means there are 3 of each chromosome - the genetic counselor said 
that  Triploidy has a very low survival rate through term and if born alive avg 
life span is 20 hours with the longest recorded case making it to 10 1/2 months.
I am very sad that we have to make this decision but with the last 2 weeks to 
think about it -we have decided we will terminate tomorrow-
You have all shown support to me in an incredible way during the darkest weeks 
of my life - I cant begin to tell you how that has helped me
Thanks again to all of you - I wish you the best of everything life has to 
offer - You have all suffered in your losses and are a true inspiration to me 
that life will go on....
love
Dina
