treeskinlet there be tea, and there was tea, and the world was--well, better anyway.
When I got back from rehearsal, By told me he'd talked to my sister. The second of her tests (a second blood serum test) also came back positive for Down's. She's trying to get in to the hospital in Wichita ASAP for amniocentesis, which is the most reliable (and most invasive).
She's already decided, if it is Down's, she's going to abort. She's not sure how she's going to convince her husband, but she told By (rightly so, in my opinion) that she just didn't have the time/energy/resources for a child that needed that level of care.
That's all she knows right now; By said she wasn't chatty at all (unusual for my sister).
Hopefully, Mom is doing better...dunno if Sis has told Mom this yet, but Mom tends to be better with problems if there's a potential solution in place.
