When I did not cry or get upset as she told us this she told me twice more "I want to make sure you understand that I am telling you your baby is not going to survive." What she doesn't understand is I am not willing to accept that answer. We had U of M express mail all the test to NY. I truly believe that they will have a much better answer than "we are just going to wait for your daughter to die". We may hear back from NY as early as tues but more likely wed or thurs given the holiday weekend and no monday mail delivery.

I can't believe they would tell you different things like that. How incredibly frustrating! Hugs & continued prayers mama.
