Fw: Amnio update

Hello to all,

I got word late yesterday afternoon that some of my amnio results are in.

unfortunately, not the CF ones yet. They will probably be ready late this week

of next week. Anyway, The baby's tests that have come in so far are ok. All

looks well, no spinebifida and no downs syndrome or anything else. It's a BOY!

Now we just have to wait for the CF results.

Dear ,

That's great that it's a boy! Were you hoping for a boy since you already have a

girl? When I had Ang I was hoping for a girl, and when I had Nick I was hoping

for a boy! got them both right . I'm glad to hear so far so good. Keep us

posted on the CF results. will keep my fingers crossed on that one too.

love,

M

Ok,

Everyone is probably sick of me and this subject, but here is what I was told by

the genetic counselor. She " didn't discuss dates " with genzyme. They didn't

tell her that the cells wouldn't be ready for the test until the 12th or that

the test wouldn't be finished running until the 26th. She was going by the

dates for other genetic tests that she has experience with. Well, I am seething

inside because she shouldn't have given me the dates that she did if she didn't

really know! However, I am staying nice with her because I know that I have to

depend on her to get the results when they do come in.

Then she proceeds to tell me that Genzyme has already told her that they will

not release ANY results to her until 's DNA test has been run. This will

take us into the beginning of March and more than 5 weeks after the amnio. I

told her in no uncertain terms that I expect to get whatever results that they

have on the baby's cells as soon as the test is complete and told her that she

may just have to press them for whatever they have at that point. I told her

that I wanted a " progress report " next Friday. and that I wouldn't hold genzyme

to whatever they have until 's DNA has been compared and they can give a

full report of the results.

UGGGHHHH!!!!!!!
