3/23/09 - Thomas and I went to Greenville today to have a couple of tubes of blood drawn each. We learned a lot about chromosomes and completed a family tree for the counselor. We may know if either of us carry this inversion by the end of the week but I really don't expect to hear anything before next week. If the inversion is passed from one of us it appears to be balanced and they don't suspect that there will be anything wrong with Toby. If this is new to the baby then we will have to keep a closer eye on him as he continues to develop and once he is born. One of the things that we will need to look for is developmental delays and mental retardation. There are some physical problems that he could have but because of all of our results from previous ultrasounds everyone feels pretty confident that he will not be affected by any of these concerns as long as he continues to develop normally.
On a separate note, I haven't been able to get on the treadmill like I was prior to all of this testing. I am trying to get back into it now. However, my sugar levels are beginning to creep up again. They are still within normal range but they are starting to push the envelope. Pray that I will be more diligent and able to get them back under control very soon.
