How can I ask the Lord this???

Hello Dear friends,
It's worse than we thought, way worse, if that is even possible.

Our baby has been diagnosed with Alobar holoprosencephaly, a condition where basically the brain does not divide into two hemispheres, but rather is in one u-shaped chunk. We are undergoing further testing tomorrow to test whether there is also an underlying genetic condition like Trisomy 13 or 18, which they are suspecting. Basically, it looks like our child may not be able to breathe on its own, or have a pituitary gland which is required to control hormones which control various functions like kidneys, for example. In most cases, this condition is fatal. We are beyond devastated and have cried a million tears. It is likely that this is a genetic condition, so we are probably done having kids as well. It breaks my heart to know that Sophie will probably be an only child.  Our lives are in complete turmoil right now - our worst fears have come true.

We should know at our 15 week u/s the degree of severity of this condition, but they are suspecting the most extreme. The mildest forms can manifest themselves in developmental delays, similar to Down's Syndrome, while the most extreme can cause facial anomalies, like the absence of a nose, one eye instead of two...and death.  We do know that our baby has two eye sockets and a tiny nose, but the face is 'smooshed' and affected.  They believe that we are leaning towards the most severe end of the spectrum.  In milder cases, the child might be expected to survive, despite severe mental and physical challenges - but they are preparing us for miscarriage, still birth or death after delivery.  This happens to 1 in 4000 babies, so about once a year at their hospital and I guess we're just the lucky ones. Sadly, it breaks my heart that as a parent all I can pray for is a peaceful death for this baby - please continue praying for us, we need all the strength we can muster.

We are undergoing transvaginal CVS testing tomorrow [they take a part of the placenta for genetic testing] and we should have preliminary results by Thursday indicating if our child also suffers from Trisomy 13 or 18, or Down's Syndrome in conjunction with the above. I just can't believe that this is happening to us...in a way, again.  No parent should have to think about their child's funeral before they are even born...
