2nd Visit with High Risk OB office (MRI results day)

As I was getting ready for my appointment to meet with the high risk doctor who referred me to Stanford and did my first level II ultrasound, the phone rang. It was the Pediatric Radiologist from Stanford. He told me that he received my fetal MRI results and it's worse than they thought. Most of the baby's liver is up in the chest as well as the stomach and intestines. Since the liver is a dense organ, it doesn't allow any room for the lungs to develop. He mentioned I could terminate the pregnancy if I chose to but the only place that will do terminations this far along is in L.A. Just by him saying that, I lost it. I felt like there was no hope. I was crying so hard that I couldn't hear anymore nor talk. I quickly got off the phone and cried until my appointment which was a couple hours away.

By the time I arrived to my appointment, I was numb. The doctor who saw me was not the same doctor I saw last time and didn't seem to have his information correct. For example, he said heart was squished to left and thought maybe the hernia was a right sided hernia, etc. etc. I told him that Stanford called with the results and confirmed heart squished to right and hernia was left sided. I was now confused and didn't know where to go next.
