Research

I found a doctor in Georgia who is doing research on this gene and others. He is looking at all of Andrew's tests and the next time Andrew gets blood drawn we are going to send him some to do work on. He is studying different variations on the gene. In the process of getting all the information together for him we found out that not all of the testing was completed. The gene specific test was to be done in two tiers. If the first tier was negative (which it was) then the second more in-depth test was to be done. Well, it wasn't. So the genetic councilor was going to call the lab and find out why it wasn't done and have it started. So we are still "technically" not out of the woods  on the gene conformation yet.

Hi, my thoughts are with you and your family, You are a great mother and very strong. Continue to fight for Andrew and a Diagnosis. Like you said he is your baby boy regardless. Take care and hang in there.
