Two weeks of worrying..

We spent two weeks reading horrifying stories online about babies with small cerebellums. They could have learning disabilities, sight problems, autism, trouble walking and multiple syndromes. We went to the repeat ultrasound and were informed that she indeed, still had a small cerebellum. It had grown since the last ultrasound but still measuring a few weeks behind. We then had to have a fetal MRI done at main campus. We had the MRI on 8/15 and went back to discuss the results with Dr Friedman, Pediatric Neurologist, at main campus on 8/17.

When we arrived at our appointment, we were greeted by Mary Lou who works in neonatology (we later came to find out that she was some type of grief counselor). Dr Friedman discussed the results and said that all of the parts of the cerebellum and brain were there and looked like they were fully developed including the ventricles, vermis, etc. He said that it seems she just has a small cerebellum. He said she might have problems later out, but he didn't see anything of any significance.

We were very happy and relieved with the news. Who knew that almost two weeks later we would be in for the shock of our lives.
