I was just checking in to see if you got any of the test results yet?

: Thank you so much Lori!
: It helps so much to know that other people
: have gone through the same thing and come
: out on the other side. I had the CVS on
: Thursday, which hurt so badly! We find out
: Monday about 13, 18 and 21 but have to wait
: another week for full results. I don't know
: how to keep life going in the meantime, do I
: buy maternity pants, do I not. I am scared
: to connect and keep planning in case it is a
: chromosomal abnormality and I have to say
: goodbye to the baby all over again. My email
: is leiagrace@hotmail.com. Thank you so much
: for help.

: We did have to play the waiting game since
: he
: wasn't diagnosed with PRS until 2 weeks
: after birth. It was a very scary and
: emotional time for us, mainly because we
: didn't know what was going on. You have an
: advantage in that you can prepare for this
: and get as much information on these
: conditions as you can so you are not caught
: off guard. Although the stuff on the
: internet may sound hopeless and be very
: overwhelming, you will find on here that
: many of the children are doing great. It is
: amazing what doctors can do these days and a
: lot of these kids lead very normal lives,
: even the ones who have syndromes associated
: with the recessed jaw and cleft palate. I
: wish I would have found this website a lot
: earlier, because it would have helped to
: read about other's experiences and know that
: they went through the same thing and
: everything turned out fine for them in the
: end. The people on this board are very
: supportive and will help you with any
: questions or concerns you have.
:
: If you ever need anything, please let me
: know and I'd be happy to send you my # or
: email address. Good luck and please keep us
: updated!

: Our doctor said it could be one of 60
: different syndromes or just PRS which is
: what we are all hoping for. Did you have to
: do the waiting game? Were they afraid the
: jaw could indicate something else? They are
: just double checking for chromosomal
: abnormalities now even though my scan was 1
: in 10,000 for 13, 18 and 21. We are so
: scared and feel like there is no hope. How
: do we get through this? Were you scared?

: Yes, our doctor is even able to detect PRS
: by
: 12 weeks. It was very visible on the
: ultrasounds. My son had a moderate to severe
: recessed jaw. He had a jaw distraction done
: at 4 weeks old and you'd never know it. He
: looks like every other kid his age and it
: completely fixed the PRS.

: Hi,
: My husband and I are expecting our first
: child in June. At my 13 week ultrasound to
: check for Downs Syndrome the doctor said the
: baby's chin was severely recessed and small.
: They sent us for a level II ultrasound which
: showed the same thing. The perinatalogist
: said that it could be one of 80 different
: syndromes and makes it seem like we should
: terminate. The genetic counselor on the
: other hand thinks it is PRS and just
: physical. W go for a CVS tomorrow. Did
: anyone with children with PRS see a recessed
: chin on ultrasound this early?
