Finally got the email from my specialist in France last night at 11.30pm. He'd just got back from his holiday and found the report the hospital had sent him. Apparently it was dictated on 28 June and typed on 17 July (so a whole 11 months after she was sent to the hosp).. He totally deplores the lateness of it all, and from the sounds of it, my 'case' wasn't the only one that took that long. He referred to Chloé as my 'foetus' and my instant reaction was "she is not my foetus, she is my daughter!!"
Anyways. He emailed me the conclusion and it's all in big medical terms (in French). Rang my mum and left a message. She's ringing me back. Fwd the email to my mum, my dad and my sister who's a doctor and really helped me last year (she spent the weekend after the scan with me).
Of course I couldn't sleep after reading the conclusion.. Then I went to bed and bubs was moving really weird and I got all sorts of horrible visions in my head..
Quote:
Conclusion:" Les différents examens que nous avons réalisés retrouvent un foetus de sexe féminin présentant une discordance staturo pondérale, des éléments de dysmorphie crânio faciale, une myéloméningocèle lombosacrée ainsi qu'un retard de certains points d'ossification nécessitant une consultation de génétique"
Basically, they found the size/weight ratio wasn't right, there was something wrong with her skull/face, the spina bifida and some bits that didn't grow bone properly (or something) and they recommend a consult with a geneticist.
You can imagine how well that recommendation sits, 8 weeks before having a baby, and a whole year on...
So there, some answers.. just in time for her birthday.
I want to shout at someone but there's no one to shout at.
