The Results Are.......

Good grief!! With all that happened last week you would think I would remember getting the results to Megan's condition.....

So we had our video conference scheduled for last week Thursday, unfortunately Gev had to work and I went alone with the kids. They were extremely well behaved. I was shocked and pleased all at the same time. So the video on Oahu couldn't work so we had our results on the speaker phone and I had Gev on my phone on speaker. How hilarious is that???!!!

We discovered that Megan has the Alpha Thalassemia trait. What that means is that she'll be normal. Maybe a mild case of anemia, but highly unlikely. She'll only need to worry later on when she decides to have children. We'll have a very serious discussion with her when the time comes. She'll need to find someone who doesn't have it, but if she finds someone who does then the doctors will have to monitor her baby, because complications may arise, then again she could have normal children without the trait.

This type of blood abnormality is passed on genetically. So we also discovered that Gevin also has the same condition. He has the Alpha Thalassemia trait and we all know he's normal. Well as normal as normal can be!! Heehee!! The doctor had charts and everything set up for us on how it was passed on and that Mia may not even have the condition. Its very possible, but the doctor said it was no rush to check her just yet since we have an idea of what we're dealing with.

On a last note the doctor asked us if we were planning on having more children I said no and Gev said maybe??? What????!!!!!!
