Cancer Screening

Every six months, Zane has an abdominal and renal ultrasound to check for Wilms tumor and hepatoblastoma. The occurrence of it is greater in kids with Trisomy 18. Today was his day. Normally, he loves the tickle of the ultrasound wand sliding over his belly. But this morning, he was not a happy little camper. He started to screw up his face and pucker his mouth. Likely it was due to the fact that I had to pin him down a bit. He is just so wiggly.

So far he has had clean results. Hopefully that will continue to be the case. *Fingers crossed*
