Echogenic Foci
Huh... ever heard of that one? Well the nurse called me yesterday and told me that the Dr found it on the heart when she looked at the sono. I'm like what is it called again??? I guess it is a calcium deposit on the heart. The nurse told me not to worry about it. She said that most times it goes away but that they needed to let me know. I had turned down some testing for the baby on specific was called an AFP 4 screening. It tests for Down Syndrome and some other Neuro tubal things. She wanted to know if I wanted to go ahead and take it now. It is tested by drawing blood. I told them sure. I go on Thur to have the blood work done. Of course I was extremely worried and expected to drive myself crazy once I got on the Internet to look it up. Funny for the first time the Internet actually relieved me. It said this is a very common thing and that it usually goes away especially if the mom is under 35. I am confident that everything will be OK. Even if she is born with something we will deal with it. I do pray thought that she is just perfect!!
