U/S update

Well we had our U/S in Johnstown (1 hour away)... the cystic hygroma (CH) is indeed there... on the attached picture you can see a black spot (fluid) right under the neck outlined by the white line (skin), that's where and what it is. The Dr. that we went to is really nice and compassionate. We went ahead and did CVS right there, we will hear results (from the Doc personally). I will tell you what he said... it sounds pretty grim (from a parents standpoint)... He said that finding a CH this early in the pg means that more then likely there is a chromosomal problem, the two that he said were Down Syndrome and Turner Syndrome (where there is only one X chromosome, instead of XX or XY), but we wont find out for two weeks.
I'll be completely honest, I'm scared to raise a child with special needs... and cannot seem to grasp that concept. I'm afraid of having to drive an hour to deliver the baby (if it comes to that), and of the possibility of a c-section. I'm afraid of numerous surgeries that special needs babies undergo. I know God doesn't make mistakes, this baby is exactly the way God wants it to be, but I'm scared!
