a few minutes ago, the phone rang and it was the genetics department of the children hospital. hooray! we’ve been expecting a call about the DNA testing Regan and I did in January – so getting calls is always a great thing, whether we expect ‘bad’ or ‘good’ news
results? Regan does not show the same duplication of chromosome 10q25 that Jovie has. I do.
what does this mean? well it means whatever this duplication is, it’s not why Jovie has developmental delays or little quirks (like hand wringing, teeth grinding, falling over etc) because I don’t have the same issues.
it means that we can file this one away as something unusual, but not suspicious. it means that i’ve found one more thing in common with my baby girl, and that is pretty awesome.
