testing children/personal choice

[Guest guest]

Tommy,

Some of us here at the believe in testing our children others do

not. However, it is all individual. I personally believe in testing the

children. I only have one more child that needs the test and she will be tested

in April.

I think I understand why some choose not to test and that is because of

insurance companies. The companies say things like " no previous conditions " .

Even that seems to me to be discriminatory it happens. Pregnancy can even

be considered " a previous condition " . So I guess that might be the reason.

However, I believe it is best to know as early intervention is best. Like my

oldest son who had two surgeries on his hips. It is best knowing. I am glad to

know. Again it is personal.

Thanks

Heidi
