Hi,
Forgot this one detail about my OB appt. I asked her if I could have the baby tested for CF after it was born. I want to just have that feeling of reassurance after the baby is born, even though the donor was negative for the top 80-some mutations. There's always still a chance (like in Lauren's case). DW seems to think we don't need to do testing until the baby shows symptoms. I just don't want to have to worry about looking for symptoms and just know right away that he's CF-free. Anyhow, OB walked over to Genetics and asked them about testing the baby for CF. She came back and said they do some sort of test that starts with a "T" (she couldn't remember the name) and then if that's positive they will do further screening. Anyone know what that test could possibly be? I was so mad that she didn't get the test name. I surely hope she wasn't meaning a sweat test because that means nothing to me (especially if baby will have an a-typical mutation). So frustrating.
