As some of you may already know, the 20 week ultrasound for baby DiLuigi showed a couple of abnormalities. We had a level 2 ultrasound today so that the perinatalogist could take a closer look. It looks as though the baby has only 1 kidney and the umbilical cord has 2 vessels instead of 3. The good news is that they did not see any other problems today. They will continue to monitor the other kidney and keep looking at everything else to see if there are any other indications of any other problems/syndromes.
The implications of the 2 vessel cord may be nothing. The missing kidney means no contact sports for this little one. As long as the other kidney is normal/healthy, the baby can function normally. We would appreciate prayers and positive thoughts as we wait to see how this all plays out.
