We were very glad to find this web page after being told that our 32 week fetus had some form of hpe. We were not told what degree it is or given any information or hope for her survival. We left the hospital devastated thinking how can our baby girl just be taken from us. The stories on these pages have given us much more hope than we ever thought possible. We have decided not to have the amnio done as the results will only tell us whether her case is compatible with life or not. We will wait for her birth and live life day by day and cherish each and every minute she is with us.
