Breathing easier

The doctor called me yesterday and Hannah doesn't have VLCAD, but she is a carrier. It feels good to finally have the info. We felt like that was probably the case, but it is nice to know for sure. The funny part was the the doctor told me that the specific mutation that Hannah has is usually found in people of Japanese descent, and the lab wanted to know if we had any Japanese in our lineage. I was like, I've seen/done the geneology back fairly far and I don't remember seeing anyone who was Japanese at all. Weird, huh? Now I'm wondering if we should have the older two tested to see if they are carriers or not. The doc said that this has only been part of the tests for the past 5-6 years, so they weren't tested for it. Rachie was, and she's ok, but I guess it's something I will tell them about when they get married and they can decide to do genetic testing if they want to.
