The 2nd Trimester Blood Screen Results

Well, we did not receive any phone call from Dr. Kenneth Chan's office yesterday, and I took that as a positive sign! This is because Dr. Chan told us last week during the consultation that if the blood test result is good, his office won't even bother to call. So today, I have decided to call Dr. Kenneth Chan's office to find out the result myself.

It turned out that all the Tuna Sashimi (food), Bacardi Mojito (liquid), and skydiving (exercise) that Amy did in the past few weeks had helped! Amy passed the blood test with flying colors!

If you can recall (click here for the details), Amy's 1st Trimester blood test wasn't that flashy! Although the baby scored a 1 in 10,000 chance of Trisomy 18, the test result for Down Syndrome was a 1 in 86.

Thanks to all the prayers and support from around the world, Amy's 2nd Trimester blood test came back as follow:

Trisomy 18 - 1 in 100,000+
Down Syndrome - 1 in 500

This is absolutely an excellent news for Amy and I, our Family, and all our friends from around the world!

During these past few weeks, Amy and I have received a lot of emails and phone calls from friends and family telling us positive and encouraging information in regards to this 'topic of concern.' We want to take this opportunity to say 'Thank You' for all your effort, prayers, and support!

We are relieved! And we are now ready to take-on the 2nd Trimester with strength!

:-)

Wonderful news! You must be relieved.

When my wife Uyen went through it, we also did with some nervousness, although we committed to raising the child whether it was normal or not.

You're in the home stretch now. Keep walking, exercising, and play music to Little Piggy in the womb.

Take good care Amy and baby.

Jimmy and Uyen,

Thanks for taking the time to post to our Blog.

I don't know about the 'home-stretch.' I feel that there is still a long way to go. But I'm certainly looking forward to that big day!
