I received a phone call from Hailey with our genetic team on Monday while Jack and I were enjoying a fun-filled family vacation/ reunion. I was unable to return her call until 6.6.2017. Hailey was calling with my results from the test that I authorized the lab to run regarding the DHCR7 gene. This test was to see if I too am a carrier of the mutated gene that Jack and Jackie are both carriers of.
To my/ our relief, I am not a carrier. We do not have to worry about our future kiddos having the syndrome associated with this mutated gene. They have a less than 1% chance. Music to my ears and to my heart…not to mention a weight lifted off my shoulders. Hailey will be sending an official letter similar to the last with an in detail explanation that I will also share. In the meantime, I am embracing this new feeling. A feeling of relief for our future. I no longer have any additional results looming…unless of course the autopsy discussion unveils something other than what Dr. Cibulskis and I discussed on March 28, 2017.
We love you Jackie!
